Details are in Figma:

Updates from the details in Figma:

  • For the text when saving the edit is in progress let's say "saving edit…" rather than "sending message…".
  • For the text when saving the edit fails let's say "edit wasn't saved" rather than "message wasn't sent".
  • Further updates in design thread in chat: #mobile-design > edit message @ 💬

Original description:

We should probably offer this as an in-place text field within the message list. As Greg points out about this feature in zulip-mobile (link):

In general the edit-message UI in the mobile app is somewhat unloved; as you noted, the UX for it is borrowed from composing a message (and rather awkwardly so), and the code to implement editing a message is likewise rather jammed into the code for composing. One consequence is that it's easy to accidentally pick up behaviors that compose has even when they aren't intended.
