WhatsApp is rolling out a new feature that lets users edit the caption of sent photos, videos, GIFs, and documents. Until now, users could only edit text messages, but it looks like the developers are now extending the functionality to captions as well.
According to WABetaInfo, it works similarly to WhatsApp’s edit message feature, allowing users to modify the media caption 15 mins after a photo or video is sent. This would mean users no longer have to resend photos, videos, GIFs, or documents with the updated caption.
To check if the edit media caption feature is enabled for an account, just tap a recently sent message with a caption and tap on the ‘Edit’ button.
The ‘edit media caption’ feature was spotted last week on the stable version of WhatsApp for iOS, but many weren’t able to access it. WhatsApp developers mentioned that it would be rolled out in the coming weeks, so one will have to wait for a few days before the functionality is available.
WhatsApp developers have been constantly rolling out several new features like the ability to send images in HD, a new AI-powered sticker generation tool, option to share your phone screen with others and support for multiple accounts to name a few.
