Edited message not always sent to whatsapp, with no feedback

Open Petersmit27 opened this issue 9 months ago • 2 comments

Problem

In Whatsapp, messages can only be edited for 15 minutes after it's sent. Currently, there is no feedback when editing a 15+ minute old message in a portal. This could lead a user think the message is edited, but it's not actually edited in Whatsapp.

Proposal

  • If a user edits an "un-editable" message, the user should be notified that the message they tried to edit could not be edited in Whatsapp.
  • Ideally, the edit should also be reverted, making the chat more aligned with Whatsapp

I'm willing to implement this as a "first issue" for this codebase. If there's any problems with the proposed solution, please let me know :)

Seems like this is already detected and handled in the mautrix/go, but without any user feedback.
