First of all, there’s one important rule to remember.
You can only edit a message 15 minutes after it’s been sent.
After that, you’ve lost your chance.
If you’re trying to edit a message and you’re within the 15 minute limit, it could be that you don’t have the feature yet.
WhatsApp said it would be rolling out the option over the next few weeks.
You could check to see if there’s an app update available, otherwise you’ll have to be patient and wait.
Can people see if I’ve edited a message on WhatsApp?
Yes, people will know if you’ve edited a message on WhatsApp.
Next to the time on the message, it’ll say “edited”.
However, they won’t be able to see what changes you’ve made.
