The new Edit option is yet to reach the beta version of WhatsApp
The screenshot obtained by WABetaInfo gives us a brief idea of how the feature works. Although the screenshot appears to be from the Android version of WhatsApp, the site claims the feature will eventually roll out to iOS and desktop versions of WhatsApp. This is contingent on WhatsApp releasing this feature widely, and there’s no word on when that will be.
It’s unclear when this feature will make it to the WhatsApp beta channel either, but we hope it doesn’t take long. Users must long-press a particular message and tap the options key on the top right to open the pop-up.

WhatsApp could soon let users save disappearing messages
WhatsApp also has something for non-business customers, i.e., regular users. As per a report last week, customers on the app could soon be able to save disappearing messages.

News of this under-development feature came roughly a month after WhatsApp fixed a bug related to disappearing messages. Some users found that WhatsApp would auto-download media content received through disappearing messages. Thankfully, this glitch no longer exists on the app, thus ensuring that disappearing messages work as they should.
