WhatsApp to introduce ability to add description to forwarded media

WhatsApp will introduce the ability to add a description to forwarded images, videos, GIFs and documents, thus giving users the option to provide additional context to the forwarded media. This is according to WhatsApp news tracker WABetaInfo, which also said the update will be available after installing the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.8.22 update on the Google Play Store.

WABetaInfo shared this screenshot to explain how the feature will work.

As seen above, users will get the option to remove the existing caption from the forwarded media, and add a custom description instead.
