To do so, you just long press on your message and select edit message. While the person on the other end will be notified that you edited a message, they won’t be able to see exactly what changes were made.Īlthough it’s known as a messaging and video chat service for gamers, Discord also lets you edit messages. Just like in iMessage, you simply hold down on a message to edit it. While Facebook Messenger doesn’t, WhatsApp rolled out an update in September of last year that allows you to edit messages.

If, like me, you want to edit your messages but use one of the best Android phones, there is hope as an increasing number of messaging apps now also let you edit your messages after you’ve sent them. Unfortunately, I’ve been using Android since I got my first smartphone and I just don’t see myself making the switch from Android to iPhone anytime soon. While you only have 15 minutes to do so, this is more than enough time to fix a quick typo. The same can be said for text messages on most phones (but iOS 16 now lets you edit them after they’ve been sent). That awesome joke you just told in the group chat just doesn’t land the same way when there are typos or errors and unfortunately, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

After using Slack for the past year though, I often find myself trying to go back and edit my messages in Messenger before remembering I can't - I’m not at work.

Staying in touch with my friend group (which has people all over the world) means relying on Facebook Messenger. Now though, I wish every messaging app had this feature.
