You can now edit captions on WhatsApp after sending media files

WhatsApp has introduced a new feature that lets users edit captions for various media types, such as images, videos, GIFs, and documents, even after they have been sent. To use this feature, you must update your WhatsApp to the latest version (both iOS and Android devices).

The feature's rollout was delayed initially, but it is now widely available. You can check if you have it by long-pressing a recent captioned message. It has a limitation, though. You can only edit captions within 15 minutes of sending them and only from the device that sent them.

X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, is experiencing a glitch that prevents old posts with images or shortened links from displaying properly. The issue was brought to light by Tom Coates on Saturday afternoon and had been noticed by a Brazilian vtuber, @DaniloTakagi, a few days earlier. The glitch seems to affect posts made before December 2014. Videos don't seem to be affected since X added native image support in 2011 and built-in videos in 2016, but links to YouTube and other sites are now broken and show only t.co URLs.

Twitch won't let banned users view your streams anymore

Twitch is introducing a new feature that will let streamers block banned users from watching their streams. According to Senior Product Manager Trevor Fisher, streamers can opt to prevent their banned chatters from viewing their stream. He revealed this on Twitch’s Patch Notes podcast. The feature will be available in the next few weeks.

He also explained how the feature would work: “If you ban somebody and they’re currently watching, then the stream playback will be interrupted for them so that they immediately lose the ability to view the stream. And then if you go offline, you stream again, they won’t be able to watch your subsequent streams either until you choose to un-ban them.” This change would apply whether the streamer or a moderator banned the user.
