There is a news leak that WhatsApp is coming with a new update that will allow you to edit and revoke the sent messages. The news comes from the Twitter handle of WABetaInfo. It is clearly showing the screenshots with the option to revoke and edit on clicking the sent message. The update is in beta mode as of now, and will hopefully be out soon. This would be very useful update befitting all the users. Sending messages to wrong windows can sometimes be catastrophic and disastrous.

It happens with most of you. There are various groups of friends and family members. And forwarding messages, videos or GIFs that is just-for-your-friends’ group to family group can be disastrous. It might have happened and keep happening with many of you. But, no more worries, just wait for a few days and you will have this update.

The option of editing is also going to be quite useful. At present, you have to rewrite the complete phrase correctly and resend next to the wrong phrase as soon as you point out your mistake. But with the new update, you will be able to edit the sent message, just as you are able to edit your comments in Facebook.
