Facebook-owned instant messaging app WhatsApp is working on two new tweaks to upgrade its forward feature. Calling it Forwarding Info and Frequently Forwarded, the two new changes were spotted in the works in the latest Android beta version.
The messaging app also rolled out the Short Link feature to the WhatsApp Business for iOS beta version 2.19.21.5. This feature was already available for Android users, and it has now expanded to iOS users running the beta build of the Business app.

WhatsApp recently updated its Android beta app to 2.19.80, and beta tracking website WABetaInfo reports that in the latest update, the company is working on two new features Forwarding Info and Frequent Forwarding. The two features aren't enabled as of yet - i.e., they are disabled by default - and should arrive in the next beta updates. Forwarding Info will allow users to get more details about a forwarded message.

This feature will enable users to know how many times the message has been forwarded. This information will be available for sent messages only, because the user can navigate into Message Info only for messages he sent. Once the user forwards a message, he can tap on Message Info and know how many times a received message has been forwarded.
WhatsApp is now rolling out the Short Link feature for IOS users with Business beta version 2.19.21.5. The feature is already available on both the regular Android and WhatsApp Business for Android apps, and is finally being tested on iOS, reports WABetaInfo again.
