WhatsApp allows users to edit messages
- NayamAmarshe 3y agoWelcome to 2015, WhatsApp.
- alok-g 3y agoDo they ever worry about how some users may be able to pursue fraud and abuse with this and other such features. Do they worry about any legal implications of this for the users?
- Y_Y 3y agoIsn't it great how week keep reinventing text messages over and over so that things like this make international news?
- unmole 3y agoHow did one edit text messages that were already sent?
- Y_Y 3y agoI think you know, but the classic way to do this was just to send a new message with the correct content, or maybe just the amended piece (often preceded by an asterisk). There is an aesthetic difference, but it's small. The overall effect is the same, especially if the edit history is visible (as it should be, since my contacts shouldn't be able to delete information from my phone).
- unmole 3y agoIn other words, you couldn't.
- yaky 3y agoAbout time. XEP-0308 Last Message Correction for XMPP/Jabber (which is what WhatsApp uses as its protocol IIRC) was moved from experimental to draft… 10 years ago, 2013-04-08. Many modern XMPP clients have supported it for a while. https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0308.html https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0308.html
