    Not before time, WhatsApp is going to allow the ability to edit a message for up to 15 minutes after it’s been sent. Interestingly, there’s no way for the original recipient to be able to tell what the original message was, but they will be notified via a simple “edited” tag

    Not a day too soon, in fact is it released yet?
    I hate making typos and having to send another msg to try and correct… thats why I moved to Telegram.
    My Whatsapp doesnt seem to have edit yet feature yet, so I am curious to when this will arrive

    @Panda according to the below, it’s been released already

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/prakharkhanna/2023/05/25/how-to-edit-whatsapp-messages-on-ios-and-android/

    I just tested it myself and it doesn’t seem to be there yet. In the article I posted above, I noted

    According to Facebook the capability of editing a message on WhatsApp “has started rolling out globally and will be available to everyone in the coming weeks.” So if you haven’t received it yet, fret not. It should arrive for you soon. Several new WhatsApp features are also in the works for 2023.

    @Panda Yes, seems I have the update also. I too like to rectify typos - which is why I often “edit” my own posts here when I realise autocorrect has decided to change things (often not for the better either).

    @JAC this is a good question and certainly one that will trigger debate. Nord has a good track record for privacy with a no log policy, and has an independent audit to certify this as fact. They also have the most number of servers scattered around the globe and also pioneered NordLynx which is based on the their existing Wireguard protocol. I suspect much of their popularity comes down to their marketing as you suggest with YouTube influencers and affiliate links, although they aren’t the only brand leveraging this area.

    @phenomlab this is good. I see this happen a lot. It is unclear because usually it is a group talking and going over things and trying to plan according to the knowledge that they have with what is working and not working now. And yet some time down the road, something new comes out, something changes and now what was possible isn’t and vise versa. I have seen these kinds of situations, and I encourage taking very good notes and making them so they are always accessible to you/your team so that way a search can be done and the notes appear and you know exactly why, what, how and where the decision was made. When I say you, I mean anyone in a position to make decisions that bring about change in whatever area it might be.

    and BOUM Personally, I don’t hate American companies. I use their products like everyone else, but I think their economic weight is such that they impose their own rules instead of respecting those of the countries where they do business. And here, for once, the DMA is putting the church back in the middle of the village (French Expression).

    @JAC yeah, I’ve never seen the appeal. I tried to get into LinkedIn a while back and then gave up because it’s just chock full of people who have far too much time on their hands telling anyone who will listen about how great they are and what they have achieved. Actions speak louder than words.
