“Google Messages will note inline when something has been “Edited,” while the original message will be viewable by long-pressing the overflow menu > View details.”
If you know someone doesn’t read their messages right, you could fuck with them by sending responses unfiltered and filtered.
Example: “that’s a stupid idea” and editing it to “I’ll consider that”
Just know that they’ll see it, so only do with this with friendly trolling. Or just use it for typos. That’s probably safer.
It’s rarely about time but rather energetic resources - whether mental or physical. Most of us have the time, but not the energy to maximize it.
