WhatsApp's new feature to ensure that you don’t send images to the wrong contact

WhatsApp developers are working on a new feature to improve the image sharing experience. In the new WhatsApp update, we get the recipient name below the caption. This will ensure that users are aware of who they are sending the image to while adding the caption.

According to information available, this new design change is rolling out to WhatsApp Beta users on Android. If you are a WhatsApp Beta user on Android, ensure that you have version 2.19.173 or later installed to test this feature. You won’t get the feature on an older WhatsApp update.
