Hi @Kichu this is a good common question! We are working on making this easier for you with [PubNub Blocks](https://www.pubnub.com/products/blocks/) product coming soon. However for now there is a basic option that will work okay: http://stackoverflow.com/a/30536484/524733 **read this previous post**. – Stephen Blum Nov 25 '15 at 18:13
Thanks for you reply. i all ready saw this post but i didn't get any clear idea :-( – Kichu Nov 26 '15 at 08:50
Is it possible to update the message in pubnub using angular API? – Kichu Nov 26 '15 at 08:51
PubNub Storage and Playback is **Immutable**. There is no way to update messages. You need to publish new messages with the modifications you want to be reflected in state. – Stephen Blum Nov 30 '15 at 21:54
Pubnub should provide this kind of feature. I felt the same thing when I created chat application with pubnub then latter on i had to switch on something else – Shubham Nigam Dec 22 '15 at 05:14
PubNub is providing this feature. Expect to see announcement in coming months (possibly around November 2016). Until then you can [implement a design pattern that provides a the desired end result](http://pubnub.github.io/pubnub-design-patterns/2015/02/26/Message-Update-Delete.html#_ga=1.217879509.217456567.1459794989). – Craig Conover Jul 26 '16 at 03:04
