WhatsApp will soon make it difficult for users to forward messages to more than one group chat
India Today
WhatsApp had previously rolled out an update that allowed users to forward messages to one chat at a time. WhatsApp had set limits on forwarded messages to constrain virality.
WhatsApp has been spotted testing a new feature that would change the way we forward messages. Whatsapp will soon restrict forwarding messages to more than one group. The messaging app was spotted testing the feature. If the feature makes it to the final update, it would be difficult for a lot of users who aimlessly forward messages without even reading them most of the time. This move would also curb the spread of fake news or misinformation to an extent.
WhatsApp had previously rolled out an update that allowed users to forward messages to one chat at a time. WhatsApp had set limits on forwarded messages to constrain virality. This move was announced after WhatsApp started labeling the messages that are forwarded multiple times with double arrows. Now the messaging app is probably looking to expand the feature to group chats. As per Wabetainfo, WhatsApp is testing the possibility to forward messages to only one group chat at a time.
“When a message is marked as forwarded, it’s no longer possible to forward it to more than one group chat at a time. If you need to forward this message to more than one group chat, you need to select the message and forward it again,” the report mentions.
So if you are trying to forward a message with a forwarded label on it, it will no longer be possible to forward it to more than one group chat at a time. If you wish to go forward to more than one group chat, you will have to select the message and forward it again. Previously, WhatsApp had introduced a limit so that these messages could only be forwarded to one chat at a time.
“Last year we introduced users to the concept of messages that have been forwarded many times. These messages are labeled with double arrows to indicate they did not originate from close contact. In effect, these messages are less personal compared to typical messages sent on WhatsApp. We are now introducing a limit so that these messages can only be forwarded to one chat at a time,” WhatsApp had said.
The feature is currently being tested and it is being rolled out to certain beta testers and it’s going to be enabled for everyone in the next few days.
