      SMS messages, you can’t (without two same apps with extensions).

      RCS messages, you can.

      These days, SMS and RCS messaging just come under the banner of “text messaging”. It’s pretty handy to be fair, blows MMS out of the water anyway.

        Google Messages doesn’t seem to have an edit button despite specifically using “RCS message” as the placeholder text.

          I do! I also remember using WAP to read the news. Well, my first venture on the internet was December 24 1994, so I am old…

              nah, Wireless Application Protocol - a way of serving web pages that was very similar to the HyperCard technology of the time.

              Ah, the memories of checking football scores on a Nokia 3330 in school playgrounds…

                Oh yeah, that. I didn’t have a mobile then so almost completely missed that even existing, but now it does sound familiar having been dredged up from the depths of my memory.

            Curious, why do you remember day 1 for you?

            I don’t know mine. I do remember sitting in my kitchen at the family computer listening to the modem connect via an AOL disc though. Sometime in the late 90s if I had to guess.

            Apparently in 1998 half of all cds produced worldwide had an AOL logo on them. Wild.

              Because my 15 year older brother got it for Christmas for the family that year. We open gifts on the 24th, which if why I remember it.

          This post is a millennial trap, so I’d think most people here?

      Editing a SMS only works between two "smart"phones. Me, I see a second message starting with EDIT, and yes, I can see the previous shit you sent me forever.
