WhatsApp : Message Edit option and how to edit the message?

WhatsApp is a popular messaging app that allows users to communicate with friends, family, and colleagues through text, voice, and video messages. It was founded in 2009 by Jan Koum and Brian Acton and was later acquired by Facebook in 2014.

With WhatsApp, users can create groups and chat with multiple people at the same time, share photos, videos, documents, and voice messages, and make voice and video calls. WhatsApp also offers end-to-end encryption for all messages, which means that only the sender and the recipient can read the messages.

WhatsApp is available on both Android and iOS devices, and can also be used on desktop computers through the web version or a standalone app. The app is free to download and use, although it requires an internet connection, either through Wi-Fi or cellular data.
