[Feature Request] Edit Text Message

[normalscene]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm always frustrated when I am not able to edit a text message.

The problem is simple. Sometimes we don't want to delete the sent message but just edit it, as now whatsapp allows editing of messages.

Describe the solution you'd like

Say I have sent message and it has msgid=1234, i should be able to call api /editMessage(msgid, newtext) and the already sent message text should change from earlier text to newtext.

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

Edit message

You can edit text messages or "caption" in media messages.

PUT /api/{session}/chats/{chatId}/messages/{messageId}

👉 Remember to escape @ in chatId and messageId with %40.

So if you want to edit true_123@c.us_AAA message in 123@c.us chat you need to send request to:

PUT /api/{session}/chats/123%40c.us/messages/true_123%40c.us_AAA

Payload:

{
  "text": "Hello, world!"
}

Delete message

You can delete messages from the chat.

DELETE /api/{session}/chats/{chatId}/messages/{messageId}

👉 Remember to escape @ in chatId and messageId with %40.

So if you want to delete true_123@c.us_AAA message in 123@c.us chat you need to send request to:

DELETE /api/{session}/chats/123%40c.us/messages/true_123%40c.us_AAA
