WhatsApp, a messaging platform owned by Meta, has recently unveiled three exciting features to enhance the user experience. As reported by WaBetaInfo, these new additions focus on improving polls, forwarding media with captions, and sharing documents with captions.
While these updates are being introduced worldwide, they will be gradually made accessible to all users upon installing the latest version of the app. However, it is important to note that the availability of these features may vary and could take some time to reach all users.
Polls
The latest update introduces a new feature that enables poll creators to enable a single-vote option, streamlining the process of reaching a definitive answer. When creating a poll, users now have the option to disable the “allow multiple answers” toggle.
Furthermore, users can now conveniently filter messages by polls, similar to searching for photos, videos, or links. By selecting the “polls” option, users can easily locate specific poll-related texts.
According to a statement from the app-tracking website, “Additionally, the latest app updates ensure that poll creators stay informed about responses by receiving notifications when people vote on their polls.”
Forward media with captionÂ
In the latest feature update, users now have the ability to forward media with captions. This includes photos, videos, and GIFs. When forwarding content, users can choose to retain or remove the existing captions, or even add additional information to enhance the caption as they share it with others.
Additionally, users now have the option to forward documents along with captions, simplifying the process of locating specific documents at a later time. This feature allows users to add helpful captions to the forwarded documents, enhancing organization and facilitating easy retrieval when needed.
