Google is reportedly developing a message editing feature for its messaging app, hidden in the latest beta version (20240213_01_RC00).
2
30-minute edit window
Users can edit messages sent within the past 30 minutes by long-pressing on a sent message and clicking the pencil icon.
3
Original & edited display
Both original and edited messages will be displayed for reference on the receiver's profile.
4
Separate edited texts
If the recipient doesn't have the feature enabled, the edited text will be sent as a separate message.
5
Double-tap gesture removal
The latest beta also introduces a double-tap gesture to remove reactions, following an earlier APK teardown revealing Instagram-like gestures for reacting to messages.
