WhatsApp may finally let you forward media with text captions

WhatsApp’s handy ability to forward media files is perhaps one of the app’s most used features on iOS as well as Android. The feature lets you quickly forward any pictures, videos and GIFs that you receive from one account to another. However, these forwarded messages could never include any original text caption. That could change with a future WhatsApp update.

A new version of WhatsApp Beta, spotted first by WABetaInfo includes the ability to forward media-bearing messages with their included text captions. This feature is under testing and was reportedly only made available to a select number of beta testers.
