How to Edit and Alter Sent Messages on Telegram > 자유게시판

Editing sent messages on Telegram is not a straightforward process, but there are alternatives to make it possible to edit or delete messages in group chats. Here's a detailed guide on how to edit sent messages on Telegram:

Unfortunately, Telegram does not allow users to alter their messages directly from the app, but there is a workaround that makes it possible to edit messages by removing them first and re-sending them as new messages.

To alter sent messages on Telegram, you'll need to delete the message first, and then re-send the edited message. Here are the steps to do so:

1. Find the conversation that contains the message you want to edit, and go to that chat.
   
2. Click on the message you want to alter. This will bring up an options with various choices.
   
3. On this options, select the "Delete" choice. A confirmation will appear to ask if you are sure you want to delete the message.
   
4. Click on "Delete" to confirm, and the message will be deleted from the chat.
   
5. Now that the message is deleted, you can edit the message with the edits you want to make. If the message you deleted was part of a larger conversation, it's a good idea to type a new message and send it before editing the original message.
   
6. Once you have edited the edited message, type it in the text box at the bottom of the chat window.
   
7. Send the altered message by clicking on the "Send" icon or by tapping the paper plane icon at the bottom right corner of the conversation pane.
   
8. The edited message will now be visible in the conversation, and it will appear as a new message.
   
   

Note: Removing a message and re-sending it as a new message does not send a message to the other members in the group or private conversation, but they may realize that the message has been re-sent, so it's best to avoid re-sending messages that are completely different from the original one.

Another thing to be mindful of is that if you re-send a message that was sent before, Telegram will automatically change the time stamp of the re-sent message to be the time stamp of when it was re-sent, not the original time stamp. This means that the re-sent message will appear in the chat as being sent recently, not when it was actually sent originally.

Keep in mind that while this method allows you to alter or delete messages on Telegram, it's not a built-in feature for doing so, but it's a workaround to achieve similar outcomes. If you're in a group conversation where multiple people are sending messages rapidly, deleting and re-sending messages may not be ideal for avoiding distractions, especially if the other group members recognize the deleted message or re-send.
