WhatsApp is reportedly testing a feature that lets users add descriptions to forwarded messages

“When you remove the current caption and you add your own, the new description will be sent as a separate message so the recipients know it doesn’t belong to the original message,” the report said.

Users will now be able to add more context to the media they forward, allowing them to share their ideas, opinions, or feelings about the content as well as a brief justification for their action.

Additionally, WABetaInfo also warned users that after installing this update, some might experience issues while viewing status updates and downloading videos. “In this case, please wait for the next update that will likely fix the issue,” it added.

In the meantime, WhatsApp's most recent update for Android has started rolling out the "companion mode" functionality to all beta testers.

The companion mode was formerly restricted to a small number of beta testers.

The purpose of this feature, which is an expansion of multi-device functionality, is to enable users to link their current WhatsApp account to another phone.
