Edit Message

Now you can edit a message even after it has been sent! Fix a tpyo, include the missing ingredient in grandma’s chocolate chip cookie recipe, or add the punchline to a joke if you hit the send button too quickly. The choice is yours.

Messages will always show when they have been edited, and you can tap on the “Edited” indicator to see the full edit history for any edited messages.

Update the past in the present to prevent future confusion today!

Got this today on Signal beta. Editing is one feature I really wanted in Signal.

Anyone else got it?

      If you’re really worried about giving out your number, you can use virtual / temporary number. Just keep in mind it complicates backups and transferring to a new phone, etc. Puts into perspective if it’s worth the hassle. Or maybe you just want usernames? 😅

        Cloaked works pretty well for anonymous Signal registration. They give you a VOIP number that actually works on Signal, and you don’t have to give them any personal data to sign up. It also works behind a VPN.
