WhatsApp is rolling out an exciting improvement in its upcoming update which will allow users to add a message to any forwarded content, making the app more flexible.
According to WABetaInfo, users of the Meta-owned instant messaging app will be able to explore a feature that allows them to concatenate a new message after the forwarded message in a future update.
Although this update is set to be released later, it can currently be explored by beta testers in the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.25.3 update, which is available on the Google Play Store.
Previously, this feature was limited to media files like images, videos, and GIFs, regardless of whether they had a caption.
However, users can now enjoy the flexibility to add a custom message to any type of forwarded content, including text messages, documents, and links.
This improvement allows users to provide necessary context or explanations alongside the forwarded content without extra effort.
It’s important to note that users can also add a new message to content that wasn’t originally forwarded, including simple text messages.
For example, if a user shares a text message with a contact, they can include an explanatory note or a personalised comment when forwarding it to a group chat, ensuring the message is clear.
This is particularly useful in case adding more context to a forwarded message is needed.
For example, if a user forwards a news article link, other users can now immediately add their thoughts or a summary, which saves them from needing to send a separate follow-up message.
Similarly, forwarding a text message can include additional details or instructions for the recipient, ensuring clarity and reducing the risk of misinterpretation.
