New Delhi: Last month, Apple introduced iOS 16, which included the capability to edit texted texts. Within 15 minutes of sending a message, iPhone and iPad users can amend it. Android SMS apps still don't have this capability. Even well-known messaging services like WhatsApp don't currently allow you to edit sent texts.

But did you know that Telegram provided the option to amend a message once it had been sent long before anyone imagined being able to do so after it had been shared with the receiver? After 48 hours of sharing a message, Telegram users can alter a transmitted message for the uninitiated. ()
