While chatting with my friend on WhatsApp, I observed that messages can only be edited within the first 15 minutes after they are sent, regardless of whether the message has been read or not (no blue ticks). to edit sent WhatsApp messages you just need to highlight the message you have sent and click on the three dots that are found on right hand side of your chat after you have clicked you will see the three options copy, pin message, and edit.
There is no solution for this issue unless the WhatsApp edit option is unavailable even after you've sent the message instantly. However, if you've waited and the initial 15 minutes have passed, editing is no longer possible. if you think you have made a mistake you can just delete the message for everyone since the delete message option can stay up to 48 hours after that you can't also delete the message as well
If you're using a smartphone, whether it's Android or iOS, and you're unable to see the WhatsApp edit option even after sending the message instantly, it's possible that your phone version might not support this feature or you have an outdated version of WhatsApp. Try updating your WhatsApp to the latest version.
