Sending a Correction is literally so much easier!

To edit message you probably have to long press on it, select Edit, then select the part of text to edit (which is famously easy on mobile /s) then erase and rewrite. There's no point putting this much effort into a chat message! There's a reason people don't capitalise or use punctuation in those.

Sorry I'm with the millennial on this one (being a millennial and a tech savvy person myself).

    I'm a millennial and I strongly prefer editing. It's much easier on the recipient not to have to cross-reference your correction with your message, and it usually doesn't result in a separate notification ping.

    Notification ping? You guys don't keep your phone on silent?

    You just outed yourself as a boomer 😂

    My phone vibrates for text messages, but even if it doesn't there's no need for two notifications in the tray if a simple edit is possible.

    Also I'm talking about the recipient, not myself. I don't know what their settings are necessarily.

    I've seen some plugins for Discord and Telegram forks that let you double tap your own message to edit and I really wish this would become the standard.
    But noooo, seems most apps don't have a double tap action or only use it for Emoji Reactions. Wow, truly putting the most useful actions at our fingertips 😒
