Edit Message
Now you can edit a message even after it has been sent! Fix a tpyo, include the missing ingredient in grandma’s chocolate chip cookie recipe, or add the punchline to a joke if you hit the send button too quickly. The choice is yours.
Messages will always show when they have been edited, and you can tap on the “Edited” indicator to see the full edit history for any edited messages.
Update the past in the present to prevent future confusion today!
Got this today on Signal beta. Editing is one feature I really wanted in Signal.
Anyone else got it?

How can you securely edit messages if they’re not stored anywhere except the sending and receiving devices?..
I guess they just send the modified message and overwrite the previous version.
Same as sending or deleting messages. An edit is just another message that the clients interpret differently. They modify a previous message instead of showing it as a new one.
Isn’t it already on the stable version? I have been using it on my android v.6.34.5.
I can edit messages on Signal stable version 6.35.3.
