For its users, Whatsapp has started rolling out 'frequently forwarded' in India. As the name suggests, this label helps users spot messages that have been forwarded to the platform multiple times. Such Forwarded messages will now come with a special double arrow icon. Users will also receive notifications when they are sending a message to others a number of times. Let's know the full details
For your information, let's say that the Whatsapp 'frequently forwarded' feature had been in the testing phase for some time. The new label will appear when a message is forwarded more than 5 times. Whatsapp says the message will be end-to-end encrypted. Whatsapp will also shorten chain messages such as long text messages. However, users will have the option to view the entire message. The company hopes the new features will give users a better experience on the platform. A WhatsApp spokesperson said: "We have recently released an update on Forwarded Messages. This will let people know about messages forwarded multiple times. These messages will be marked double arrows. Users will also receive a notice if they forward such a message.
According to media reports, the latest feature has been introduced as an edition of the 'forwarded' label that came in last year. This feature is available to all users. Whatsapp also limits the forwarding of a message to a maximum of 5 chats. This new feature of the app has been introduced to prevent the spread of fake news. Over the past few months, Whatsapp has launched several in-app features associated with it. Whatsapp is currently launching a payment service in India.
