Hello, @mallenexpensify.
This is very interesting.
Do you mean edit? Or copy to clipboard? There is no edit icon.
Am confident to fix this issue since understood the workflow... <<^_^>>
Could you more clarify the expression as below?

1. Edit? Copy?
2. For the Images, currently implement as follows. (as a text) Is it right?
3. How many lines is available to edit/copy(only last message? Or infinite past messages?)

IMG ("copy to clipboard" and "mark as unread")

IMG (image copy to clipboard)

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks

Hey @johndev0711 we do actually have edit functionality. It's not yet on the production version of the app, but if you run it locally, you should see the option to edit your previously sent messages.

@puneetlath, thanks for your kindness.
Will check soon.
