Editing
- There's no time limit. You can edit a post or a reply whenever you like.
- You can change the words and the photos (up to 10).
- An edited post or reply shows Edited.
- If your new words include something our filter catches, the post is hidden while we check it. Only you can see it until then. See Why something you posted is hidden.
Deleting
- A post: “It disappears from the app, with all its replies. You cannot undo this here.” Anyone who replied loses the thread, and notifications about the post disappear too.
- A reply: “It disappears from the thread. You cannot undo this here.” If the asker had marked it This helped, that mark goes too.
- You can only edit or delete things you wrote. To get something of someone else's taken down, report it.
