WhatsApp's forwarding feature is a useful tool that allows you to share a message with one or more contacts without having to copy and paste the content. This can be particularly handy when you want to share an important announcement, a funny joke, or a helpful tip with multiple friends or groups. In this article, we'll guide you on how to forward a message on WhatsApp.
Open the chat containing the message you wish to forward.
Long press on the message. On iOS, you can also double tap the message.
Once the message is selected, tap on the forward icon (represented by an arrow). On Android, it's located at the top right of the screen. On iOS, it appears at the bottom right of the screen after you select "More."
You will then see a list of your contacts. Select the contact or group you wish to forward the message to.
After selecting the recipient(s), tap on "Forward" or "Send" to complete the process.
Please note, as of a 2021 update to combat the spread of misinformation, you can only forward a message to five contacts or groups at a time.
In conclusion, forwarding messages on WhatsApp is an efficient way to share information with multiple contacts at once. However, always be cautious when forwarding messages and ensure the information you share is accurate and not misleading. Responsible sharing contributes to a better and safer digital community.
