Users wouldn’t be able to use this feature for a few weeks, according to the changelog. The report claims that WhatsApp is now broadly rolling out this feature to all users after installing the most recent upgrades of WhatsApp for iOS from the App Store and the TestFlight app, as well as WhatsApp for Android from the Google Play Store.

So to access this feature, simply tap and hold a recent message with a caption. This function was formerly restricted to text messages alone. However, the feature has now officially been expanded to include media messages as a result of recent update. Note that with the new functionality, captions for videos, GIFs, and documents can now be edited, provided that it is done within 15 minutes of sending the message.

According to the report, it is important to remember that the only device from which a message with a caption can be edited is the one from which the original message was sent.

Also, the caption edit feature is currently accessible to a limited number of users who download the most recent versions of WhatsApp for iOS from the App Store and WhatsApp for Android from the Play Store; more users will be able to do so over the next few days.
