Overview

• Google is reportedly developing a feature for its Messages app that would allow users to edit sent text messages, according to code found in the app.
• The feature, if implemented, would follow similar capabilities introduced by Apple's iMessage and WhatsApp.
• Code changes suggesting the feature were found in a beta version of the Google Messages app dating back to the last week of November.
• The feature may also include an edit history, similar to other platforms, but it's unclear if there will be a time limit for editing messages.
• It's also unclear how the feature would work with the RCS messaging protocol, a standard not currently supporting message editing.
