WhatsApp to soon let users add a custom message when forwarding text, images or links

WhatsApp, the go-to instant messaging platform used by billions worldwide is bringing improvements that make it easier to customise forwarded messages. Available for select beta testers, the functionality allows users to add a custom message to the content like text, documents, and more.

Unlike the current implementation, which is limited to images, videos and GIFs and requires users to manually send a message after forwarding an image, document, or text message, the upcoming change eliminates the need to send a message after a user has forwarded a message.
