As per a report by WABetaInfo, iPhone users are able to access the new feature after installing the stable version of WhatsApp for iOS 22.23.77 from the App Store.
What is ‘Forward media with caption’ feature
The feature will allow users to add a caption to media files while sharing it with friends and family. The feature will help iPhone users to quickly search old files by just typing in keywords from the caption.
When users forward an image with a caption, a new view will appear at the bottom of the screen, letting them know whether the feature is enabled on their account. Furthermore, a dismiss button is available to delete the caption from the image before forwarding the message if the user decides they do not want to forward it.
Further, the report mentions that the latest feature will roll out to more users over the coming days.
Meta-owned popular instant messaging app is also reportedly working on a new set of features, including voice status updates for iOS users. This feature is said to enable WhatsApp users to include voice notes in their status updates. However, the voice status update feature is available for Android users.
WhatsApp has recently introduced several features for Android and iOS users, including Call Links, in-chat Polls, Communities, Message Yourself and others.
The WhatsApp Calls Links feature allows users to create a link for voice and video calls. WhatsApp recently added the Communities tab to the app to manage and organise conversations on the platform. There is also a “Message Yourself” feature that allows users to send messages to themselves. This can be useful for to-do lists, making notes and more.
