Edit Message in Signal Beta (and stable?)

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?

Steve ,

I got it too. Sounds great. I frequently miss type and wish I could go back to fix it.

Delete for everyone, and resend is so jarring. 😂

Is Beta only for subscribers?

No, just enroll in the Beta on the Play Store.

Not seeing it there.

EDIT: j/k, yes I do. Turns out I just had to open my eyes. Derp.

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.

Isn’t it already on the stable version? I have been using it on my android v.6.34.5.

Hmm. Gotta check.

How can you securely edit messages if they’re not stored anywhere except the sending and receiving devices?..

I guess they just send the modified message and overwrite the previous version.

avidamoeba OP ,
@avidamoeba@lemmy.ca avatar

Same as sending or deleting messages. An edit is just another message that the clients interpret differently. They modify a previous message instead of showing it as a new one.

This is the only thing that I’ve been missing on Signal, that’s great news!

Odiousmachine ,

I can edit messages on Signal stable version 6.35.3.
