What does the edit recipients feature hold?
The edit recipients feature will enable the users to add a caption, but the same media on their status, and select status recipients right from the same interface while sending media on a chat, as shown in the picture below, which suggests that users will be able to choose the contacts to send media when they select the option to share media, that will enable them to send media to multiple other users from one single chat window without the need of forwarding it multiple times.
