For this, they have been doing their homework and have made many innovations in the current app.

WhatsApp had initially started with just text conversations which could have been possible between two users who were using the Android Platform and the internet. It had become a rage among smartphone users and this app had gained a lot of popularity in the initial stage itself. Later they made many changes to the app like calling feature, sending and receiving images and videos and other attachments.

Recently they have been working on the new feature which will allow the users to recall the message you have sent or may be edit them as well. This facility will help the people who have mistakenly sent the messages to the wrong recipient or maybe the message was not at all expected to be sent to them. Many times, we do not want to send something to a person and in error, it goes to them causing a lot of issues and misunderstanding between each other. This feature is a great way to rectify your error and either recalls the message completely or maybe edit the portion which is not meant to be for the receiver.

However, this will be within seconds of sending the text message and obviously before the receiver reads the message. Facebook who owns the messaging service has been testing this feature to be sure before it is launched. It is known that the feature is offered to the Beta users for the iPhone. However, the release of the feature for Android users is not yet decided. Users should turn on the feature manually to use it.
