WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.3.12: what's new?

WhatsApp is rolling out a new update through the Google Play Beta Program, bringing the version up to 2.25.3.12.
What's new in this update? WhatsApp is working on a feature to edit the album caption, and it will be available in a future update!

In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.24.9 update, we announced that a new gallery interface for sending photo and video albums was available to some beta testers. This feature aims to enhance the media-sharing experience by allowing users to select multiple photos or videos simultaneously, improving the process of sending albums without unnecessary steps. Additionally, the improved captioning system ensures that users can provide context to entire albums more efficiently, as captions can now be added to grouped media. It seems that WhatsApp intends to further refine the album captioning system, focusing on giving users greater control over how they can manage captions for shared media. Thanks to the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.3.12 update, which is available on the Google Play Store, we discovered that WhatsApp is working on a feature to edit the album caption!

As you can see from the attached screenshot, WhatsApp is exploring the implementation of a new feature that will allow users to edit the album caption, scheduled for release in a future update. At the moment, it is not possible to edit the caption of an album after sending it, as this feature is not yet supported. WhatsApp organizes albums differently from individual messages, as the caption management system for albums follows a separate structure, so the option to edit album captions is not currently supported. Unlike single media messages, where captions can be edited after sending, album captions cannot be edited once the message is delivered.

However, with an upcoming update, WhatsApp will introduce an option allowing users to edit album captions within 15 minutes of sending them. This new feature will provide greater flexibility and ensure that users can quickly correct typos, add missing details, or clarify the context of their shared media. With this feature, users will be able to refine or adjust the description without having to delete and resend the entire album. This can be particularly useful in situations where the caption contains incorrect information or lacks important details that make the shared photos and videos more meaningful. This update will also enhance clarity in conversations and group chats, preventing confusion when details need to be adjusted. In addition, we believe it will improve user convenience by allowing users to edit album captions without having to send a new message just to correct a mistake.

A feature to edit the album caption is under development and it will be available in a future update. We will keep you updated with an additional article as soon as we have more details to share about this feature.
