Notably, the feature can be utilized solely on the device that originated the message. While the caption editing tool is currently accessible to certain users who have updated their WhatsApp app on iOS or Android, its availability will gradually expand to a wider user base in the days ahead.

To use the feature, users simply need to tap and hold a recent message with a caption to discern whether the feature is active for their account. Formerly confined to text messages, this functionality has been extended to media messages, marking a significant enhancement in communication capabilities.
