You can do this by creating your own intent for sending your image as well as text along with it. You can do this by :

Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
sendIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, textToShare);
sendIntent.setType("image/*");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
sendIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);

if (sendIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) == null) {
    startActivity(sendIntent)
} else {
    Toast.makeText(context, "Whatsapp not present in device", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
