Google Messages may be late to the edit button party, but it has finally arrived. The messaging software, which is installed by default on many Android phones around the world, will soon include an edit button.
Google Messages
The tip comes from X user AssembleDebug, who was able to get the app’s edit capability to operate. To do so, the user needed to enable a few flags in the app’s beta version.
This revealed that Google is working on an editing tool for the Messages app, which should be available soon. However, the feature is not yet publicly available, so users must wait.
Google Messages will provide users thirty minutes to alter messages after they have been sent. After that point, users will no longer be able to alter their sent messages.
Messages Publicly Available
The programme will also keep track of all revisions made to a message using the message history function.
To edit a message, simply hold down the text that needs to be edited, and the app will display a pencil icon that allows you to modify.
Message editing will only be available with RCS messaging over Wi-Fi, and users will not have access to it across the board. SMS messages cannot be modified.
Google has yet to discuss the functionality, thus there is no official rollout date as of yet. However, given that the feature appears to be ready, Google will most likely make an announcement soon.
