WhatsApp now allows users, on the Android beta version, to add custom descriptions to forwarded images, videos, GIFs, and documents.

Add context to media

The feature lets users add a self-framed description to forwarded media, providing more context. The description will be sent as a separate message.

Until now, WhatsApp only allowed users to keep or remove the default caption while forwarding media or documents.

With the new feature, when you select a contact to forward media, a box with a text caption entry field will appear at the bottom.

The new feature is a part of the Android beta update 2.23.8.22. It is currently available only to a small number of beta testers.
