How To Edit And Alter Sent Messages On Telegram

Editing sent messages on The Platform is not a straightforward process, 电报官网 but there are workarounds to make it possible to edit or delete messages in private chats. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to alter sent messages on Telegram:



Unfortunately, The App does not allow users to edit their messages directly from the application, but there is a loophole that makes it possible to edit messages by deleting them first and re-sending them as new messages.



To alter sent messages on Telegram, you'll need to delete the message first, and then re-send the altered message. Here are the steps to do so:


Find the conversation that contains the message you want to edit, and go to that conversation.
Click on the message you want to alter. This will bring up an menu with various choices.
On this options, select the "Delete" option. A confirmation will appear to ask if you are sure you want to delete the message.
Click on "Delete" to confirm, and the message will be removed from the chat.
Now that the message is deleted, you can edit the message with the edits you want to make. If the message you deleted was part of a larger conversation, it's a good idea to type a new message and send it before editing the original message.
Once you have composed the edited message, type it in the text box at the bottom of the conversation window.
Send the edited message by clicking on the "Post" icon or by clicking the paper plane icon at the bottom right corner of the conversation pane.
The altered message will now be visible in the chat, and it will appear as a new message.

Note: Removing a message and re-sending it as a new message does not send a notification to the other users in the group or private conversation, but they may notice that the message has been re-sent, so it's best to avoid re-sending messages that are completely different from the original one.


Another thing to be aware of is that if you re-send a message that was sent before, The App will automatically change the timestamp of the re-sent message to be the time stamp of when it was re-sent, not the original time stamp. This means that the re-sent message will appear in the conversation as being sent recently, not when it was actually sent originally.



Keep in mind that while this method allows you to alter or remove messages on The Platform, it's not a built-in feature for doing so, but it's a solution to achieve similar results. If you're in a group chat where multiple people are sending messages rapidly, deleting and re-sending messages may not be ideal for avoiding hype, especially if the other group members notice the removed message or re-send.
