FORWARD MEDIA WITH A CAPTION
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.23.5 update, we posted news about the ability to forward images, videos, GIFs, and documents, with a caption. The feature was under development the last week and it is unexpectedly rolling out to some lucky beta testers after installing the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.23.15 update from the Google Play Store!
As you can see in this screenshot, the best way to discover if the feature is enabled for your WhatsApp account is to forward an image with a caption: in case the feature is enabled for your account, a new message box at the bottom shows up that also lets you remove the caption by tapping the dismiss icon within the caption view. As we said above, this is not limited to images but videos, GIFs, and documents can be forwarded with their caption.
The ability to forward media with a caption is available to some lucky beta testers that install the latest update of WhatsApp beta for Android from the Play Store. If the feature doesn’t show up after the update, don’t worry since it is rolling out to more beta testers over the coming weeks.
