No, the other person does not get notified when you edit a message on WhatsApp. This feature allows users to discreetly correct mistakes or update information in their messages after they've been sent, without alerting the recipient to the edit. However, the recipients can see that a message was edited by noting the 'edited' label next to the message, but they won't receive a specific notification about the edit itself.
