Experts have previously spotted early builds for it but they’ve yet to come to fruition.
Now WhatsApp know-all site WABetaInfo have uncovered even more signs that the feature is under development.
A leaked screenshot shows an edit function on iOS for iPhone.
It would allow you to make changes when a message is held down.
According to the site, any message that you’ve edited will have a label saying so.
And you’ll only get a maximum of 15 minutes to make any changes once it’s sent.
As this is a super early build, WhatsApp could well make some final adjustments.
And they could ultimately decide not to release it at all.
