Instant messaging app WhatsApp keeps rolling out new updates and features from time to time to improve the experience for its users.
WaBetaInfo reported on Tuesday that the messaging app is once again rolling out a new update through the Google Play beta program, taking it to version 2.23.2.2.
This new feature will let users know about the ability to forward media with captions.
The app tracking website said the feature will allow users to share any type of media — photos, videos, GIFs and documents — with captions intact.
“A warning appears when a document with an image, video, GIF, or caption is forwarded,” it said.
Additionally, WhatsApp wants to ensure that its users are aware of the new feature by offering the ability to remove captions from media during the forwarding process.
This feature is available to those who install the latest app update today.
Delete for me.
Recently, WhatsApp announced a feature that allows its users to undo the “delete for me” message.
Users often face a situation where they mistakenly click on “Delete for me” option instead of “Delete for everyone” which leads to some embarrassing situations.
If the user accidentally deletes a message, they have the ability to override “Delete for Me” for a few seconds. This feature makes it easy for users to retrieve accidentally deleted messages.
The feature was announced by Will Cathcart, head of WhatsApp, on Twitter. “We’ve added an option to undo ‘delete for me’ for those times when you mean to delete for everyone but accidentally delete just for yourself,” he wrote.
This feature is available for all users. Whenever you delete a message for yourself, a snack bar appears with an “undo” button. If you accidentally delete a message for yourself, you have the option to retrieve your deleted message. “It takes a few seconds to use the ‘undo’ action,” said WaBetaInfo.
The same feature is available in the desktop version of the app as well as in the latest version for iOS and Android users.
