WhatsApp to get more updates, may let you forward images and videos with captions

Meta is constantly experimenting with its applications to add new features and make modifications regularly. Reports say that WhatsApp users will soon be able to share captions while forwarding an image or video.

Earlier, it was impossible to forward images with captions on WhatsApp; users had to use the Share button to send messages to other users. WABetaInfo confirmed that beta tests are in the pipeline to test the feature of forwarding images, documents, GIFs, and videos, along with the caption.

Beta testers are able to do it successfully with a new WhatsApp Beta update, rolled out through Google Play Beta Program, exclusively for Android users. This has brought the current version of the app to 2.22.23.15.

FAQs

Is the feature available to all WhatsApp users?
No. Not yet. The feature is still available as a beta feature and is accessible only to a limited number of WhatsApp users. The users who have received the feature will see a message box at the bottom, allowing them to remove the caption by clicking on the dismiss icon in the caption view.

What is the new WhatsApp avatar feature?
This feature is still under beta test run. Once the user creates an avatar, WhatsApp creates a sticker pack to share further with friends. Users will get an ‘Avatar’ section in WhatsApp Settings to be able to create avatars.
