WhatsApp appears to be Taste of Future Sister-in-lawworking on a feature we wanted Twitter to aded since forever: the ability to edit sent messages.

According to WABetaInfo (via 9to5Mac), the feature is already under development, and the outlet has a screenshot to prove it, showing an "edit" option for a sent message in WhatsApp for Android.

It's unclear whether messages will be editable forever or within a certain time window.
