We need Aztec to support the caption shortcode. Extensive details can be found in the original issue here.
This issue depends on another one from Aztec: https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/AztecEditor-iOS/issues/723.
In terms of WPiOS the work that needs to be done is to convert caption shortcodes to figure + figcaption tags.
Here's an example showing standard figcaption usage.
<figure>
<img src="img_pulpit.jpg" alt="The Pulpit Rock" width="304" height="228">
<figcaption>Fig1. - A view of the pulpit rock in Norway.</figcaption>
</figure>
Support request for option to add caption to images. (On iOS 11, so possibly not able to use the older editor without other issues popping up.)
internal ref: #238613-h
I've also got a user asking about adding captions to images in Aztec.
ref: #239528-h
Have personally seen 5+ requests for ability to add captions in this editor this week.
Most recent, internal ref: #239621-h
Thanks @jklausa and @sarahblackstock.
Considering the amount of interest, we'll try to focus on this for the next release.
Fyi @maxme, @SergioEstevao, @jleandroperez ^
Even though 9.2 has entered code freeze, we'll try to add this feature before the release.
Update - User unable to add caption to images from iOS device

We told the user it will be soon fixed in next release which is why user enquired again about it
@krutidugade - The feature is delayed due to complications. We'll report it here as soon as there are news.
This feature has been merged into the library in https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/AztecEditor-iOS/pull/910 and will be integrated into WPiOS shortly.
