WhatsApp is beginning to implement on iOS devices the option that prevents users from forwarding the same message to multiple chat groups within the app simultaneouslyso that it can only be shared in a single chat of these characteristics at a time.
It was early March when WABetaInfo warned that the application had introduced this feature in the beta for the update of Android 2.22.7.2 and now verified in beta version 22.7.0.76 for iOS.
Now, WABetaInfo shared a screenshot showing a notification warning users that it is not possible to forward messages sent to more than one group chat at a time.
This new feature limits message forwarding to one, so when a message is listed as forwarded, it can no longer be forwarded to other email groups. WhatsApp.
Those who attempt to do so will see a notification on their screen detailing that “Forwarded messages can only be sent to a single group chat“.
In this way, users who intend to send a certain message to more than one group chat, they will need to go back to it, select it, and send it individually to another conversation with multiple participants.
It should be remembered that this restriction modified the measure put in place by the company in 2020 when it was introduced a limit for messages forwarded to groups in order to stop the spread of ‘fake news’ or false news.
At the moment this option it is only available either for WhatsApp for Android 2.22.8.11 beta testers or WhatsApp for iOS 22.7.0.76 beta.
