WhatsApp may be working on a new function that would allow users to edit and delete sent messages. The news arrives via the WABetaInfo Twitter channel, a source of early WhatsApp news and speculation, which claims to have discovered the feature in the WhatsApp 2.17.1.869 beta build for iOS. This would be first time WhatsApp has introduced such features since it launched in 2010.
WABetaInfo tweeted a GIF which shows the message deletion process in action. It appears to work by tapping and holding on a sent message to bring up a list of options, including "revoke", which can be selected to delete the message from the conversation. It also seems that this can be applied to read messages, as WhatsApp's blue check marks can be seen briefly before they are removed.
A subsequent tweet reveals an "edit" option available in the same menu, which would allow users to amend sent messages. WABetaInfo says would be disabled by default.

Though the news pertains to the iOS build, it's highly likely that the feature would also roll out to the Android version – should it roll out at all.
