Facebook Messenger<\/strong>, the messaging application that works within Mark Zuckerberg’s flagship application<\/strong>, will finally allow editing sent messages<\/strong>. Thanks to this improvement, any user who has written something and sees a typo, or wants to change the content of the message itself, will be able to do so without any problem. However, respecting the 15-minute time limit<\/strong>, as afterwards, it will not allow you to make any changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a highly anticipated improvement, considering that WhatsApp<\/a>, also owned by Meta, has had this feature since early 2023<\/strong>. And the truth is that modifying written texts<\/strong> is usually much more subtle than deleting a message completely.<\/p>\n\n\n

Editable Texts in Messenger<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As announced by Meta in recent days<\/a>, Messenger will allow you to edit messages even after you have sent them. With a time limit of 15 minutes, you will be able to modify any text you have sent<\/strong> and even rewrite it from scratch if you wish. This way, Messenger, like WhatsApp, gets rid of the strict rule<\/strong> that prevented editing messages after sending them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, you will also be able to edit them even if your interlocutor has read them<\/strong>, so when they see the message again, later on, they would find the edited version with the changes already made. This is especially useful to correct typos during a conversation<\/strong> in which both users are active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now it can be used without an application<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the best news that arrived in this 2023<\/strong> to the Messenger service is that, after many years forcing users to download the application externally to be able to chat through Facebook, Messenger can now be used freely without the need to download the secondary application<\/strong>, something that, in times when smartphone space is usually scarce, represents a relief for those who do not want to burden their memory with applications<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is why Messenger Lite also existed<\/a> in the past, an application that can no longer be downloaded<\/strong> from the App Store or the Google Play Store, although it still has the APK available online<\/strong> to offer a smaller storage service while enjoying its own application. Therefore, if you want to download that application, you can find it on Softonic<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n
