WhatsApp is rolling out an interesting improvement in its upcoming update that will allow users to add a message to any forwarded content, making the app more flexible.
According to WABetaInfousers of the Meta-owned instant messaging app will be able to find a feature that allows them to add a new message after a forwarded message in a future update.
Although this update is scheduled to be released later, it can currently be discovered by beta testers in the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.25.3, which is available on the Google Play Store.
Previously, this feature was limited to media files such as photos, videos and GIFs, regardless of whether they had captions.
However, users can now enjoy the flexibility of adding a custom message to any type of forwarded content, including text messages, documents and links.
This improvement allows users to provide the necessary context or clarification with forwarded content without any additional effort.
It is important to note that users can also add a new message to content that was not originally forwarded, including plain text messages.
For example, if a user shares a text message with a contact, they can add an explanatory note or personal comment when forwarding it to a group chat, ensuring the message is clear.
This is especially useful when there is a need to add more context to a forwarded message.
For example, if a user forwards a link to a news article, other users can now immediately add their own thoughts or summaries, saving them from having to send a separate follow-up message.
Similarly, forwarding a text message may include additional details or instructions for the recipient, ensuring clarity and reducing the risk of misinterpretation.
