Many people use WhatsApp to send hundreds of texts or messages every day. And in these messages, ‘typos’, ‘typing mistakes’, or mistakes in conversation are very common. Besides, grammar mistakes are also very common. Especially on the way or during busy times, these mistakes should be more common. However, the most common mistake is probably the autocorrect feature of mobile phone keyboards.
However, after sending wrong messages on WhatsApp, you can edit them before they confuse you. This feature of editing a message after sending it is available on budget Android phones, iPhones, Windows, and other WhatsApp versions.
Before knowing how to edit, you need to know some rules, otherwise this feature may not work as expected, the technology site Android Police wrote in the report.
whatever is needed
You won’t get the message edit option in older WhatsApp versions. So, install the latest version of the app on iPhone, Android, and Windows desktop. The company’s desktop app is available on the Microsoft Store.
The recipient of the message must also be using the latest version of WhatsApp on their phone.
A message can be edited within 15 minutes of sending it. After this, the edit option will no longer exist.
In addition, edited messages are ‘end-to-end encrypted’ like other WhatsApp messages, calls, and media. It is a security mechanism that protects data from third parties while exchanging data between two devices.
A WhatsApp message can only be edited from the device it was sent from. One cannot send a message from an Android phone and edit the message using the desktop app.
How to edit WhatsApp text on Android
1. Open a chat thread by launching WhatsApp on the phone.
2. Tap and hold the message you want to edit.
3. A three-dot or three-dot menu will appear in the top right corner, tap on it.
4. Select the Edit option.
5. Tap the check mark to the right of the message to fix mistakes, or write a brand new message.
6. Now the recipient of the message will see only the edited message, with ‘Edited’ written below the message.
How to edit WhatsApp text on iPhone
1. Open a chat thread by going to WhatsApp from your iPhone.
2. Tap and hold on to a message, and select the ‘Edit’ option when the floating menu appears.
3. Edit the message and send it by tapping on the tick mark on the right side.
How to edit WhatsApp text on Windows
Earlier, WhatsApp had a web-based app on Windows. However, the Meta-owned company is looking to change that, reports Android Police. Recently, the company announced a Windows version of the WhatsApp app, which has all the features of the app.
1. Launch WhatsApp on Windows and open a recent chat thread.
2. Right-click on the message.
3. Select the ‘Edit’ option. WhatsApp will display the previously sent message above.
4. Type a new message and match it with the old message above.
5. Now click on the tick mark on the right side and the message will be edited.
A few more things to note about editing messages
There are also some limitations in editing messages. For example, multiple messages cannot be edited at once. The recipient of the message will no longer see the original message. Also, even if you can edit the message as many times as you want in 15 minutes, the edit history will not be visible. While text messages can be edited in private chatboxes or groups, the feature will not work in ‘WhatsApp Community groups.
Since the text can no longer be edited after 15 minutes, you can delete the message for everyone. WhatsApp allows up to 48 hours to delete a message for everyone. Android Police wrote that two days should be enough to delete a message after realizing a mistake.
A new feature is being added to WhatsApp’s photo gallery
WhatsApp, the messaging platform owned by Meta, is adding new features with customer convenience in mind. This time there is a change in the photo gallery feature. As a result, you can easily send photos to others.
According to a press report, the photo gallery or photo library option of WhatsApp is going to change soon.
What will change in WhatsApp? Currently, if you want to share a picture on WhatsApp with someone, select the photo gallery from the attachment option in the chat box, then the gallery pictures will appear on the screen. But there will be no need to select a photo gallery in front. If you tap and hold the attachment option for a while, you will reach the phone gallery. As a result, the user’s time and work will be reduced.
It is heard that this feature has been launched in beta version on the smartphones of several users. Although WhatsApp has not yet informed anything about this. But the news is that Android and iOS users will be able to use this feature shortly.
It was recently known that WhatsApp is making a big change in status. Like Instagram and Facebook stories, users can now tag the names of their loved ones in their WhatsApp statuses. The notification will reach the person you tag. The matter will remain a secret to the rest.
Apple has laid off 600 employees
The global tech industry is in a race to lay off workers. Companies are laying off workers one by one. Like other technology companies, the technology company Apple is also walking the path of layoffs. The popular company laid off 600 workers after canceling the car and smart watch display project. This information was reported by the US media CNBC citing information from the California Department of Employment Development.
The employees who lost their jobs reportedly worked in eight different Apple divisions located in Santa Clara, California. They were informed about the layoff on March 28. Apple has not had to cut its workforce at the same rate as other tech companies have laid off workers in large numbers during the coronavirus pandemic. Because the iPhone market has grown at a slow pace during the Corona period.
Apple canceled two projects weeks before the news of layoffs. Among these are said to be plans to build hybrid electric vehicles. Employees who lost their jobs include machine shop managers, hardware engineers, and product design engineers. However, the technology company did not comment on this.
AI detects heart movements by scanning the legs
A UK startup company has developed an AI-powered device that detects the risk of cardiac arrest from a person’s feet.
Cambridge-based company Heartfelt Technologies says its technology can monitor heart patients discharged from hospital for swollen bare feet, a possible sign of a heart attack.
This leg swelling, also known as ‘peripheral edema’, usually occurs one to two weeks before heart failure. However, often patients do not realize this.
Heartfelt Technologies’ artificial intelligence-powered device can be installed at a patient’s home, where it will automatically monitor their feet every time they walk past it.
The basic idea behind the device is to install it in the homes of patients who have previously been discharged from the hospital with heart attacks. The startup company also claims that the device can reduce the risk of re-hospitalization by up to three-quarters.
“The system can be placed at home, which indirectly monitors the movement of the patient’s feet as he walks past its camera,” said Dr. Hartfelt Technologies, chief scientific officer. Oraine Chausseaux.
“It’s designed in such a way that the patient doesn’t have to do, wear, or remember anything. We believe this can be a positive step for irregular patients.”
There are special medicines to treat patients suffering from heart failure. However, once they are released from the hospital, continuous monitoring is needed to ensure they are taking the correct medication.
An optical sensor and 3D camera are used in this device which looks like a shoe box.
Heartfelt Technologies has upgraded its hardware after relying on a Raspberry Pi computer in the first generation model of the device, where the company has installed the ‘Microsoft Kinect camera found in the ‘Xbox One’.
The device is still awaiting regulatory approval, which falls under Europe’s ‘Medical Device Regulation (MDR)’ policy. According to the company, the device has already been tested in ‘several locations’ around the world.
“Because our device requires no patient input, data can be collected more regularly and more accurately than conventional systems,” the company said.
“For physicians, better quality patient data potentially means longer, healthier lives for patients and fewer hospital readmissions.”
Google AI features can be used for free!
One after another, the popular search engine Google is using new techniques of technology to help people around the world. Now the search engine giant has come with good news.
Google recently announced that their artificial intelligence (AI) based photo editing tools will soon be free for Google Photos users.
However, this decision resulted in AI editing tools like Magic Editor, Magic Eraser, Photo Unblur, and Portrait Light being limited to Pixel and Google One handsets till now. But now everyone will get the benefit of using it. Anyone who subscribes to this photo storage and sharing service will get access to several notable AI editing features including this tool in the second week of next month. Google recently shared a post on Twitter (now X)
from when this feature will be available for free.
It is confirmed that Google Photos app users will get the benefit of the AI photo editing feature for free from May 15. You will be able to use editing tools such as Magic Eraser (to remove unwanted objects), Photo Unblur (to help reduce blur), and Portrait Light (to add a bokeh effect).

Technologies that will be discussed during the year 2024
Technology is a very fast-evolving and developing world. New technologies are constantly coming. Besides, the use of existing technologies is constantly increasing as new application areas are created. Among these are some technologies that can be said to represent the year 2024. Some of such technologies are highlighted.
1. Generative AI
From the end of 2022, the journey of artificial intelligence (AI) began. Since its inception, it can be said that it has made quite a big impact in the world of technology. This year too it will occupy a leading place. In addition to the large language models, there will also be small, low-cost language models. The combination of data and generative AI models will create an irresistible platform. It will be widely used in various business establishments. It will work without experienced technical experts in organizations. In the far future it will lead to interconnected network model design and AI will be finely adept at each task.
2. Quantum technology
Currently, there is a cyber competition going on, where increasing the power of the computer is an important task. Currently AI and machine learning are working together against cyber threats. The problem is, with the advancement of quantum computing comes a new threat. As it develops, encryption standards like RSA and ECC will no longer be useful. Quantum-resistant algorithms will become essential for data privacy and security in the future. This year, America’s National Institute of Standards and Technology will develop a standard for post-quantum cryptography, i.e. encryption algorithms, that can resist quantum attacks. In other words, quantum computers will lead to a major evolution in global cyber security.
3. semiconductor
Semiconductors are key tools for digital transformation. According to Moore’s formula, every two years the computing power of microchips doubles, and the price halves. However, this formula has practical and financial limitations. Currently, the semiconductor industry is on the cusp of its transformation. This year various factors will come to a flat position. Two nanometer chips will come. The size of the transistor will be just a few molecules. All in all, there will be an evolution of Moore’s law. The world of three-dimensional chips could begin as chips reach an extreme limit of miniaturization. In addition, materials science and new forms of lithography can greatly increase computing power.
4. battery
Increasing the capacity and reducing the cost of batteries is an important issue for both public and private organizations. Increasing the sustainability of electric mobility and energy storage is the main objective of the present time. Smart grids and renewables have a hard time dealing with this. In this case, Lithium Ferro-Phosphate or LFP and Nickel Manganese Cobalt or NMC would become an ideal solution for vehicles. Many battery chemistry technologies will arrive this year. For example, cobalt-free (sodium-ion) or solid-state batteries, etc. In other words, there will be a big change in batteries in the case of electric vehicles. Because the car needs a very high-capacity battery. And its price will be lower than the traditional battery. Dependence on some basic materials in making batteries will also decrease this year. For example, lithium, nickel, cobalt, rare natural minerals, and graphite. Also, the batteries will be safe and long-lasting.
5. Space technology
This year, mankind will prepare to return to the moon. This renewed interest in space will accelerate new scientific discoveries and solve many of Earth’s most pressing problems. There will also be changes in meteorological hazards, and further advances in telecommunications, defense, and sovereignty. The task of space travel is not only for the government, this time private organizations will also take part in it. Some big technologies like 5-G, modern satellite systems, big data, and quantum computing will be very useful in this regard.
Apart from these technologies, there are some other long-term technologies, which will make a special contribution to change the entire world in the next five years. eg, low-carbon hydrogen. Hydrogen is an environmentally friendly fuel. Because it only needs to burn water to produce it. Next is carbon capture technology. In the future, carbon emissions from heavy industries will be significantly reduced through new technologies. Then synthetic biology will be discussed. This has become an important issue since the recent COVID-19 attack. Through this, the vaccine will be developed much faster. Synthetic biology will bring together biology, engineering, computer science, and biotechnology, dramatically advancing medicine, agriculture, and environmental sustainability.
