What is Edit Picture Captions Feature?

Edit Picture Captions on WhatsApp is an upcoming feature similar to the edit message feature. This new edit feature will allow users to edit captions of media (photos, videos, GIFs, and documents) shared on WhatsApp as chat. This feature will be made available to WhatsApp users in the coming weeks, as the feature right now is in the testing phase.

This feature is added to make correction of typing errors easy and to allow users to “add extra context to a message.” And as WhatsApp mentioned in their blog post, this is also “to bring you more control over your chats.”

It is to be noted that the message can only be edited within the first 15 minutes to avoid misuse of the feature. And the edited message will display the edited message stamp alongside the message. This means the person at the receiving end can see that the sender has edited the message. However, the changes that you make will be end-to-end encrypted, just like your messages and phone calls and video calls on WhatsApp.
