JAKARTA - As a messaging application, WhatsApp does allow you to send pictures or videos with a caption included with other people. However, you must have realized that if you want to forward the image and its description to your other friends, the image caption will be lost.
In fact, the forward feature makes it easier for us to share messages or files with more people without having to send them one by one. Unfortunately, currently using WhatsApp we cannot forward images along with their descriptions. However, you can still outsmart it in the following way.
How to Forward WhatsApp Images With Their Texts on Android
Instead of having to spend time retyping text for images you've sent to WhatsApp contacts, here's how to forward text images on WhatsApp for Android.
- Navigate to the image of the text you want to forward, which you have sent to a WhatsApp contact or group.
- Press and hold the image until it is selected and highlighted. (You may see some "react" pop-ups if you run the updated app.)
- Click on the three-dot option, to the right of the Forward option.
- Select the Share option.
- Select the WhatsApp application icon.
- Then select the desired contact or group.
- Hit the green Submit button at the bottom right of your screen. The image with the caption should load in the chat window of your choice.
- Press the Send button to send this image with the associated description.
Unfortunately, there is no way to forward more than one image with text in WhatsApp for Android. You must painstakingly pass each captioned image one by one, repeating the process for each.
