Apple released iOS 16 last month, which brought the ability to edit sent messages. iPhone and iPad users can edit a sent message within 15 minutes of sending it. The feature remains missing from messages apps on Android. Even popular messaging apps such as WhatsApp don’t offer the ability to edit sent messages yet. But did you know that Telegram offered the ability to edit a sent message long before anyone thought it was possible to make changes to a message after it had been shared with the recipient.

For the unversed, Telegram enables users to edit a sent message after 48 hours of sharing it.
