Telegram now lets users edit messages after they’ve been sent

Messaging app Telegram might be upstaged by WhatsApp in South Africa, but worldwide, it has amassed over 100-million users in its relatively short existence.

Now the company has released an updated version of its app, which allows users to edit messages after they’ve been sent.

“Simply tap and hold on a message, then press ‘Edit’. If you’re on desktop, press the up arrow button to edit your last message. The messages will display a small ‘edited’ label so that it’s easy to tell which were altered,” the company explains in its blog.

This will work in both private and group chats.

Other new features includes the ability to “mention any members in a group – even if they don’t have a username,” and a new People List top bar, allowing users to quickly find their most recent correspondents.

The app is available on Android, iOS, Windows Phone and as a web app.
