WhatsApp might soon let users add custom messages when sharing content. This means you will be able to include personalised messages while forwarding images, GIFs, videos, or links. According to WABetaInfo, the Meta-owned platform is set to introduce this feature in its latest 2.24.25.3 beta update. Here’s a detailed look at what to expect.
Add Customised Messages
With this update, users will have the ability to include custom messages while forwarding images, text, videos, documents, GIFs, or links. Currently, the feature is in the beta testing phase, but the company plans to roll it out to the public in the coming weeks.
How Does It Work?
Previously, when forwarding a picture or any content, users couldn’t add any extra messages or descriptions. However, with the update, you can now include personalized explanations or comments about the content you’re sharing.
For instance:
• When forwarding a picture, you can explain its context or significance.
• When sharing a joke, you can provide additional context to help your friends understand it better.
This feature aims to enhance communication by making shared content more meaningful and clear.
Launch Date
The exact launch date for this update hasn’t been officially announced yet. For more information, users can stay updated through WhatsApp’s official website.
Other Updates
In addition to custom messages, WhatsApp is introducing another update for Android users. According to WABetaInfo, the platform will soon roll out new theme colors for both light and dark modes. However, this feature is currently available only to WhatsApp Business users.
