FollowEarlier this year, WhatsApp made it possible to modify messages that had already been sent. Users will apparently soon be able to change media subtitles after sending them on the Meta-owned portal. Users will therefore have the option to edit the captions of the images, GIFs, documents, and videos they transmit.
The most recent versions of WhatsApp for iOS and Android users are now receiving this capability, according to WABetaInfo. If you don't have it now, don't worry; it will eventually become available to everyone. The feature was initially found in the WhatsApp for iOS 23.16.72 update.
WABetaInfo verified that the feature was indeed being distributed to users after installing the “most recent updates of WhatsApp for iOS from the App Store and the TestFlight app, and WhatsApp for Android from the Google Play Store.”

To check if you have received this feature—try sending an image with a caption. Then, long-press the picture to check whether an edit option appears, just like you would if you wanted to modify a message. If the edit option displays, you already have the functionality; otherwise, you should get it soon.
The option to edit messages, which enables users to fix errors or modify it after sending a message, has generally been well-received by WhatsApp users. Earlier this year in May, this function was made available, and it looks that WhatsApp is now enhancing it by making the caption editing tool available.

Recently, WhatsApp also made the eagerly anticipated announcement that users would be able to transmit HD photographs via the app. Prior to this, WhatsApp automatically compressed photos, which frequently led to poor image quality. However, with the help of this function, users won't have to worry about their high-quality images becoming compressed while sending them to their contacts.
