How To Forward Image With Caption On Whatsapp

When you forward those images to other contacts, the caption is lost and the image is meaningless without it. There is an easy way to forward image with caption on WhatsApp. You might be surprised to see that this method is not much complex and slightly different from how you are used to forwarding the images. Just keep in mind that any images you forwarded will become a part of your WhatsApp backup if you enabled it. To avoid it, you can simply disable the backup; read about it here. On the plus side, when you transfer your WhatsApp on a different device, these images will be restored as well. If you need to move WhatsApp from iPhone to Android, read our post about how to do it in the best possible way.

Forward WhatsApp Photo With Caption On Android

3. Tap on the ‘Share icon‘. Remember, don’t tap on the ‘Forward’ icon. That’s where you have been doing it wrong.
4. After tapping on ‘Share’ icon, you will see the option of all social media and other apps. Tap on the ‘WhatsApp icon‘.
5. Then tap on the chat or group you want to send the image and then on ‘Tick button‘ at the bottom right.

There is one limitation that you can only forward one image at a time to forward it with the caption using this method. As soon as you select the second image, the Share option will disappear. There is one more way to forward the image with a caption. Open the image and tap on the 3 dots icon at the top right. Tap on ‘Share’ and then follow the 4th, 5th and 6th step given above.
