Android phones can now edit text messages, just like the iPhone – TechRadar


Most iPhone owners know that you can always change a bad text message, as long as you edit within 15 minutes. Now Android owners will have the same ability to edit messages sent to other Android fans via Google Messages and RCS. Starting today, Google is adding a number of new features to Android, including text message editing, some new Google Home features, and improvements for Wear OS. 

Just like an iPhone with iMessage, Google Android phones will now let you edit a message that you sent via RCS in Google Messages within 15 minutes. RCS support depends not only on your phone, but also your wireless carrier needs to offer RCS as part of its text message technology. Messages sent from an Android phone to an iPhone do not use RCS, they use the older SMS or MMS technology.

In addition to the big improvement to RCS messaging, Google is also adding new ways to control your Google Home. There is now a Google Home Favorites widget that can control your favorite smart devices. You’ll be able to use the new widget if you are part of Google’s Android 15 Public Preview, and the feature should be coming to all Android phones eventually.
