Google Messages is easily one of the best apps there is when it comes to SMS and even RCS. It has been around for a long time, and Google keeps adding new and reliable features that make the app so much better. Now, a new report suggests that Google Messages is getting another new feature that would allow users to edit the messages. This way, you will be able to edit your messages instead of sending an erroneous one or having to delete it altogether.
Google Messages is soon going to have the ability to edit your messages, but it will only work for RCS messages
The information was discovered by AssembleDebug on Twitter, and the source claims how they were able to get Google Messages to have the message edit feature up and running. It required some flags to be enabled in the beta version of the app and after that, it was evident that Google has been working on the feature for some time now. Again, this feature is not out yet, so you will have to wait for some time before it rolls out to everyone.
So, how will Google Messages handle the message editing feature? Well, after you have sent a message, you will have thirty minutes to edit it. You will also get the message history, which will show you the full list of edits. You will only need to long-press a message and tap the new pencil icon that will show up, and you will be able to edit your message. It is worth noting that the edit feature is only going to be there for RCS messages, so you will not be getting access to it across the board.
Once you tap the pencil button, you will get access to the standard text entry box, which becomes a message editing box. You can make the edits, and you will be all sorted. Keep in mind that the feature is not out at the moment, and it can take some time before Google makes it available for everyone. Still. it's a good thing that Google Messages is becoming more and more accessible and handy for anyone who is looking for a solid RCS feature set.
