To edit an app on Whip, keep chatting in the same conversation. Tell the AI what to change the way you’d text a friend — “make it dark mode,” “add a timer,” “fix the scoring” — and it updates your app. Each edit creates a new version, and the AI protects your existing work as it makes changes.

​
What you can change by chatting

There’s no separate edit mode — editing is the conversation. Here are the kinds of messages that work well:

Style and vibe

“Make the background sunset orange,” “use a rounded, playful font,” “give it a dark theme.” Look-and-feel changes land fast.

New features

“Add a streak counter,” “let me sort the list by date,” “add a confetti blast when I win.” Build up your app one feature at a time.

Fixes

“The total isn’t adding up,” “the button is off-screen on my phone.” Describe what’s wrong and the AI fixes it.

Content

“Change the title to ‘Taco Tuesday,’” “swap the sample questions for these,” “remove the last section.” Edit words and data directly.
One change at a time works best. Ask for the big thing, see the result, then ask for the next. It’s faster than one giant message — more on this in prompt tips.

​
Every edit makes a new version

Each time you edit, Whip builds a fresh version of your app and adds it to your chat timeline as a card with its own icon and title. Your older versions stay put — nothing is overwritten. If an edit isn’t what you hoped for, just ask the AI to go back to the previous version, and it builds a fresh one that returns to it. The AI is careful to protect what already works while it makes your requested change.
Editing draws from the same daily pool as building and remixing — up to 50 a day. It resets on its own; the full picture is in build limits & failed builds.

​
Rate the AI’s replies

See a thumbs-up and thumbs-down on the AI’s messages? Tap one to send feedback. Thumbs-up asks an optional “what did you like?” note; thumbs-down lets you pick a reason and add details. It’s optional, and it helps Whip improve — it doesn’t change your app.

​
Editing an app you’ve already published

You can keep editing an app after it’s public — your live app doesn’t change the instant you send a message. Here’s how a change goes live:

Edit like normal

Send your change in chat. Whip builds a new version while your currently published version stays live and untouched.

Wait for it to complete

Once the new version finishes building, it’s ready — but not yet public.

Make it the live one

Set the new version as your active version and re-publish it so the community sees your update. Full walkthrough in publish your app.

​
If an edit fails

Edits fail occasionally, and it’s rarely a big deal. Whip retries automatically behind the scenes, and a failed edit never wipes your app or your history. The simplest fix is to send another message — repeat the request, or reword it — to pick up from where it left off. The complete rescue guide lives in build limits & failed builds.

​
Common questions

The AI protects your existing work while it edits, and every version is saved — so if a change isn’t right, you can ask it to go back to an earlier version.
As many as you like, within the shared daily limit that building, editing, and remixing all draw from. It resets automatically.
No. Your published version stays live until you publish the new version yourself. Your audience only sees changes when you’re ready.
