Mon 17 Apr 2023:
A new feature that lets users add descriptions to transmitted photographs, videos, GIFs, and documents on Android has been made accessible by Meta-owned WhatsApp and is currently being tested by a select group of users.
This function may be useful if the image’s current caption is inaccurate or if you want to submit a new description, according to WABetaInfo.
The new description will be sent as a separate message if the old caption is deleted and replaced with your own. The recipients will be more likely to understand that it is separate from the original message .
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.
Moreover, the report said that after installing this update, some users may experience issues when viewing status updates and downloading videos.
Meanwhile, WhatsApp has rolled out the “companion mode” feature to all beta testers in its latest update on Android.
The companion mode was previously restricted to a small number of beta testers.
The purpose of this feature, which is an expansion of multi-device functionality, is to enable users to link their current WhatsApp account to another mobile device.
