After a long wait, WhatsApp finally released one of its much-awaited features. The Meta-owned instant messaging app has recently announced its “forward media with caption" feature which makes photo sharingeasier than ever before. Since November 2022, WhatsApp has been testing this feature. The feature is self-explanatory- it simply lets users forward media to others with a caption.

As per a report by WABetaInfo, the feature which was introduced for iPhone users last month, offers more control when you are forwarding any media such as documents, images, videos, and GIFs by letting you choose if you want to keep or remove the caption associated with the image. Just before forwarding the media to any other user on WhatsApp, the feature will pop up on the bottom of the screen to allow you to choose if you want to remove the caption or simply forward it.

Now, learn how to forward media with captions on WhatsApp in simple steps.

Step 2:

Now, tap and hold the image to forward.

It will open the list of contacts to share. You will also see an image along with a caption at the bottom of the screen that you may want to share. Here you will have to choose whether you want to remove the caption or simply forward it.

Apart from this, WhatsApp is also said to be working on a ‘kept message’ feature that allows users to temporarily save a disappearing message.

However, this feature will be available specific to iOS 16.
