Meta-owned popular instant messaging service presently doesn’t allow users to add a description to forwarded media. According to a report by WABetaInfo, this is expected to change soon. The report mentions that WhatsApp has rolled out a new update through the Google Play Beta Program. This update is allowing some beta testers to add a description to forwarded images, videos, GIFs and documents. Some beta testers who have installed this new update have reported experiencing issues with viewing status updates and downloading videos. However, WhatsApp is expected to address this issue with the next update.
How will it work
In the screenshots shared with the report, Android beta testers can now remove the caption that came attached to a forwarded image and can add a custom description of their own. When this feature arrives for more users, they will be able to send a new description as a separate message. This will help the recipients know that it doesn’t belong to the original message.
This feature can be important if the current caption doesn’t correctly describe the image. It can also come in handy if users want to add any other captions to the media file. Users can also provide additional context to the forwarded media. They can also explain the reason for forwarding the media file. The report claims that this feature is expected to “mitigate misinterpretations”
