San Francisco, April 16: Meta-owned WhatsApp has released a new feature, allowing users to add descriptions to forwarded images, videos, GIFs, and documents on Android, which is currently available to some beta testers.

According to WABetaInfo, this feature can come in handy if the current caption doesn't accurately describe the image or if you want to add a different description. By removing the existing caption and replacing it with your own, the new description will be sent as a separate message. This will help ensure that the recipients know that it doesn't belong to the original message. WhatsApp New Feature: Meta-Owned Messaging Platform Rolling Out Voice Status Updates on iOS Beta, Maximum Recording Time 30 Seconds.

Users now will be able to add more context to the forwarded media they send, as this will enable them to provide a brief explanation of why they forwarded the media, and also share their thoughts, opinions, or feelings about the content. WhatsApp Feature Update: Meta-Owned Messaging App Working on New Feature To Send Photos in Original Quality.

Earlier, the companion mode was only available to a select group of beta testers. This feature, an extension of multi-device support, has been designed to allow users to link their existing WhatsApp account to another mobile phone.
