Instead of sending a million “Sorry, typing error”, WhatsApp has announced it will soon bring an editing feature for sent text messages.

According to WABetaInfo, 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.

You will only need to long-press the sent message you want to edit, and a three-dot menu pops up which will include an option of copying, editing, or info.
