You can now edit captions on WhatsApp after sending media files

WhatsApp has introduced a new feature that lets users edit captions for various media types, such as images, videos, GIFs, and documents, even after they have been sent. To use this feature, you must update your WhatsApp to the latest version (both iOS and Android devices).

The feature's rollout was delayed initially, but it is now widely available. You can check if you have it by long-pressing a recent captioned message. It has a limitation, though. You can only edit captions within 15 minutes of sending them and only from the device that sent them.

Source: Will Cathcart/TwitterA new update to WhatsApp will help make group calls more manageable. You can now mute and message specific people in group calls and get notified when someone joins that call. The former will come in handy when someone forgets to mute themselves or have a particularly noisy background that distracts from the conversation. If you do a lot of group calls on the app, these new additions might come in handy.
