The upcoming update from WhatsApp is expected to bring a novel feature that will increase the app’s adaptability by allowing users to add a message to any sent material.
Users of the Meta-owned messaging platform will soon be able to add a new message after a forwarded message thanks to an impending update, according to WABetaInfo.
Beta testers can currently test the most recent WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.24.25.3, which is accessible through the Google Play Store, even though this upgrade is expected to be released in the future.
Previously, media assets like pictures, videos, and GIFs were the only ones with this feature, regardless of whether they had a caption.
It is now possible for users to add a customized message to any kind of forwarded content, including documents, links, and text messages.
With little effort, users may now easily add necessary context or explanations to the transmitted content thanks to this improvement.
Notably, users can also add a new message to plain text messages or other content that was not forwarded in the first place.
For example, a user can ensure clarity in communication by adding a personalized comment or an explanation while forwarding a text message to a group chat with a contact.
This functionality comes in very handy when a forwarded message needs more information.
When a user transmits a link to a news article, for instance, they may now contribute their views or a summary right away, doing away with the need for a separate follow-up message.
Similarly, users can add instructions or more details to a text message before forwarding it, which improves clarity and reduces the possibility of miscommunication.
