Google Messages to get WhatsApp-like edit feature in coming weeks: Report

Google is reportedly working on a new feature for its Messages app that would allow users to edit sent messages. According to a report by The SpAndroid, Google has added some flags for the new feature in the beta version of the app that was released last month for select users. The flags indicate enabling an editing UI for a message and loading the edit history of messages from the message database.

The beta update also includes codes for processing the edited message on both ends – senders and receivers end. The report stated that enabling the existing flags does not do anything as the feature is still in its development stage.
