We should be able to edit our text messages by now. How we have all these updates and not one come with being able to edit a text. Come on Samsung hear me out. Even IPhone allow their users to edit text.

Use Google Messages with RCS

[Ritatheconcious]

Is that an app

[Mujibar]

RCS is Rich Communications Services. It's a messaging protocol used by Google Messages, in addition to SMS/MMS. Most US carriers support RCS.

Well, I have that on my phone, but it still won't allow me to edit text.

[Mujibar]

You can only edit messages within a short time of sending them (something like 30 seconds). Both parties in the chat must be using RCS.

I believe there's a furthermore to your statement too. I believe once the text has been opened by the recipient it can no longer be edited regardless of how short the time from when it was received.

[Mujibar]

Correct. Thanks for the addendum.

[Ritatheconcious]

Awww ok gotcha thank you for that.

[Mujibar]

You're welcome
