It looks like WhatsApp users are getting an upgrade many of us have been wishing for. A new feature, Description for Forwarded Messages, has been spotted in the latest app betas and should appear in the final app imminently.

What’s different in the new WhatsApp sharing?

It’s not the only WhatsApp update. Last week there was a big update to the main app – as in, not beta versions – with improved account protection, device verification to help authenticate your phone and verify that your conversation is encrypted.

The big update I’m looking forward to isn’t ready yet: it’s “a new, faster app for Mac desktops that is currently in the early stages of beta”. As much as I like WhatsApp on my phone it’s not so great on my Mac, so that’s one update that can’t come quickly enough.
