Edit a Sent Message
View All WhatsApp Messaging API APIs →Edit the text of a message you previously sent. Send a JSON body with the chatJid, the messageId of your sent message, and the new text. For group messages you may pass senderJid; it is inferred from the in-memory cache when omitted. Only your own messages can be edited. Returns the upstream result.
