San Francisco: Meta-owned WhatsApp messenger is reportedly rolling out a new feature that allows users to edit captions for videos, GIFs, and documents on Android and iOS devices.
Earlier, the edit feature was limited to text messages. However, with the latest update, the feature has been extended to media messages.
To check if the feature is enabled for their account, users just have to tap and hold a recent message with a caption, reports WABetaInfo.
The addition of message editing in WhatsApp enables users to fix errors and improve their conversation, enhancing the experience of chat in general.
"By extending this feature to images, videos, GIFs, and documents, WhatsApp allows users to enhance the clarity and context of those messages even after sending them, ensuring the best communication experience," the report said.
Users can edit a caption only from the device from which it was originally sent, within 15 minutes of sending it.
The new caption edit feature is currently available to some users that install the most recent update of WhatsApp for iOS from the App Store and WhatsApp for Android from the Play Store and is rolling out to more users over the coming days.
