WhatsApp is rolling out a new feature for beta testers on its Android app, allowing users to add descriptions to forwarded media such as images, videos, GIFs, and documents. The new feature enables users to remove the current caption and add a custom description that will be sent as a separate message, providing additional context and explaining why the media was forwarded.
This new feature could help mitigate misunderstandings and enhance the understanding of the media’s content among recipients, especially in group chats where media is often shared and discussed. The ability to add a description to the forwarded message is available for some beta testers, and it may be available after installing the latest update of WhatsApp beta for Android from the Play Store.
However, some users may experience issues when viewing status updates and downloading videos after installing this update. In such cases, it is advisable to wait for the next update, which is expected to fix the issue. Overall, the new feature is a welcome addition to WhatsApp’s functionality, enabling users to communicate more effectively and efficiently while sharing media with others.
