This feature was added in the latest WhatsApp for Android update, version 2.22.24.73, which also includes the ability to add captions to shared documents. Previously, captions could only be added to photos and videos. WhatsApp has also extended the character limit for group subject and description fields, although the company has not specified the new limit.

Last year, WhatsApp also increased the file limit to 2GB, up from 100MB, but this feature has not yet been introduced to WhatsApp for iOS.
