Edit Message in Signal Beta (and stable?) (lemmy.ca)

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?

Wouldn’t that be the opposite of privacy? I decide I didn’t want you seeing something after all, but fuck me?

There are already signal clients that don't honor the delete request anyway, so from a privacy perspective you cant guarantee delete anyway, so its giving people a false sense of security, at best.

Here is a signal client that lets you ignore deletes: https://github.com/johanw666/Signal-Android ... Also, view once messages don't disappear, use your own map provider, database passphrase, custom backups. I don't really suggest anyone use this fork, molly.im is better, but its illustrative that capabilities are out there, and its more privacy and security focused to not mislead people about capabilities.
