WhatsApp’s convenient ability to share media files is probably one of the most used features of the app on both iOS and Android. With this feature, you can quickly transfer images, videos and GIFs received from one account to another account. However, these forwarded messages cannot contain the original text captions. This may change in future updates of his WhatsApp.
A new version of WhatsApp Beta, first spotted by WABetaInfo, includes the ability to forward media messages with text captions. This feature is currently in testing and is reportedly only available to some beta testers.
However, this is still positive news for all WhatsApp users. With this feature being tested, it may only be a matter of time before we see it in action. A handy addition allows users to forward both received and previously sent messages to others without having to retype captions, making it easy to share images, videos and GIFs with some context.
The screenshot shared by WABetaInfo also shows the functionality in action. Judging by the image, this feature allows users to forward media messages with captions, but the presence of a text box in the UI at this point suggests that users may be able to quickly edit the caption before forwarding the message.
It’s currently only available to some beta testers on Android, but eventually iOS beta users will also get the feature before it’s available on the stable channel where most WhatsApp users can use the feature. may become available.
