CAPTION VIEW
In the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.10.6 update, WhatsApp has released a new caption view when sharing media, available to some Android beta testers. Today, after the release of the new WhatsApp beta for iOS 22.10.0.71 update, WhatsApp is rolling out the same redesigned caption view to some iOS beta testers!
As you can see in this screenshot, some lucky iOS beta testers have now a redesigned caption view when sending media: it lets them select additional recipients before sending media (including status updates). This feature was previously available when taking a photo or recording a video from the Camera tab, but since WhatsApp is planning to replace it with the communities tab in a future update, the company is now adding this ability to the default caption view.
In addition, WhatsApp has also redesigned the interface when you want to change the audience for your status updates, but note that you still need to go to your status privacy settings if you want to definitely change it.
The changes are rolling out to some beta testers today and more activations are planned when new beta updates will be released on TestFlight.
