WhatsApp has added a new feature that will let you edit your sent text messages. However, you can only do this up to 15 minutes after the delivery.

The Edit Message feature is now being rolled out to global users. You will find it in the latest updates on the Android and iOS apps. It will also work on WhatsApp Web for desktops.

WhatsApp claims that all the edits made will be protected by end-to-end encryption. However, they will be shown with an ‘edited’ tag written along the time stamp.
