Edit Message

Now you can edit a message even after it has been sent! Fix a tpyo, include the missing ingredient in grandma's chocolate chip cookie recipe, or add the punchline to a joke if you hit the send button too quickly. The choice is yours.

Messages will always show when they have been edited, and you can tap on the "Edited" indicator to see the full edit history for any edited messages.

Update the past in the present to prevent future confusion today!

Got this today on Signal beta. Editing is one feature I really wanted in Signal.

Anyone else got it?

Ohhh that's so cool!
Wish more people used signal instead of ~~WhatsApp~~ Facebook in disguise.

Got it yesterday, not using the beta though

What I'd love if it supported more Markdown stuff. Having a list be properly formatted would be super nice, for instance
