To edit message you probably have to long press on it, select Edit, then select the part of text to edit (which is famously easy on mobile /s) then erase and rewrite.
There’s no point putting this much effort into a chat message! There’s a reason people don’t capitalise or use punctuation in those.
Sorry I’m with the millennial on this one (being a millennial and a tech savvy person myself).
I’m a millennial and I strongly prefer editing. It’s much easier on the recipient not to have to cross-reference your correction with your message, and it usually doesn’t result in a separate notification ping.
I’ve seen some plugins for Discord and Telegram forks that let you double tap your own message to edit and I really wish this would become the standard.
But noooo, seems most apps don’t have a double tap action or only use it for Emoji Reactions. Wow, truly putting the most useful actions at our fingertips 😒
Sending a Correction is literally so much easier!

Notification ping? You guys don’t keep your phone on silent?
You just outed yourself as a boomer 😂
My phone vibrates for text messages, but even if it doesn’t there’s no need for two notifications in the tray if a simple edit is possible.
Also I’m talking about the recipient, not myself. I don’t know what their settings are necessarily.
