Instant messaging application WhatsApp restricts the multi-message feature, which is frequently used especially during the pandemic period and the Ukraine-Russia war. The communication application, which was first established in 2009, sends more than 100 billion messages every day. In addition, the platform has more than 2 billion active users worldwide.
Since it is the most used messaging platform, there is a lot of speculative news on WhatsApp. The spread of this news is very fast due to both the active users and the feature of the application. The application, which wants to prevent this situation, limits the use of the multi-message forwarding feature. So what will this limitation be like? Let’s take a look at the details of the news together.
WhatsApp expands details of multiple message forwarding restriction!
WhatsApp first limited multi-message forwarding to five people in 2019 to prevent the spread of misinformation. The app later reduced that limit from five to one. Now, it restricts the forwarding of messages with a single group chat, both due to war and to prevent misinformation.
WhatsApp For Android Beta 2.2.2.7.7.2, when they try to forward a message to more than one group chat, “Managed messages can only be sent to one group chat.” warning has been seen. The introduction of this function will prevent mass announcements while preventing speculative news.
