It looks like WhatsApp users are getting an upgrade many of us have been wishing for. A new feature, Description for Forwarded Messages, has been spotted in the latest app betas and should appear in the final app imminently.
The feature, spotted by the app trackers at WABetaInfo, solves a simple but quite annoying issue with media sharing in the app. At the moment, when you send forwarded media such as a video, an image, a GIF or a document the app doesn't let you customise the caption that describes it; you can only remove it. And if you do, that can lead to misunderstandings, especially if you're trying to be funny. With the new feature you'll be able to ensure that your message, as well as your media, is received loud and clear.
