WhatsApp Android beta update ensures you don’t send image to the wrong contact

In the stable version, when users send the image, all they can see is a small icon on the top left corner with the profile picture of the person to whom they are sending the image. A clear mention of the contact name below the caption area may prove helpful for the image sharing experience on WhatsApp and reduce the instances of sharing an image with the wrong contact.

As per the report, the feature will be available for the image shared on both individual chats and groups as well. So, it will also help to double check on the name of the group before an image.

Since, the new WhatsApp feature is already in beta, the company might soon bring it to the stable version of the Android app. At the moment, it is not clear whether the company is working on a similar feature for the iOS users. If the company makes the feature available for Android, we can be sure that it will eventually be available for iPhones as well.
