According to a report by WABetaInfo, the Block shortcut feature on WhatsApp will allow users to block a contact right within the chat list without opening the respective chat. The company is working on releasing version 2.23.2.4 for WhatsApp. The report further adds that WhatsApp is working on adding the Block feature within chats for the future update of the app.
However, this feature is under development and is yet to be released to beta testers.
WhatsApp working on ‘Forward media with a caption-alert’ feature
WhatsApp is reportedly working on a ‘Forward media with a caption-alert’ feature that will inform users while forwarding media with a caption.
WhatsApp’s ‘forward media with caption’ feature is now available for Android users. The latest feature will allow users to forward images, videos, GIFs, and documents with a caption. There is an option to remove the caption as well.
According to a report by WABetaInfo, “WhatsApp wants to ensure that you are aware of this new feature by offering you the ability to remove the caption from the media before forwarding it. In our opinion, this is very important as it allows users to maintain control over the messages they send.”
WhatsApp’s ‘forward media with caption’ feature was earlier available for iOS users. The feature allows users to forward images, videos, GIFs, and documents with a caption. There is an option to remove the caption as well.
WhatsApp rolls out other new features
