Yesterday, WhatsApp officially announced about the limit of only five forwards at a time. This is done to curb the spread of fake news and provocative content. Yes, this limit is applicable only for its 200 million users in India.
WhatsApp is also publishing a new video that explains the importance of the ‘forward’ label and calls users to ‘double check’ the facts when you’re not sure who created the original message.
So, what does it mean? Can’t we send a message to the sixth person now! Of course, you can. But, you can’t forward a message to a sixth person at one go. However, a user can go back to the message and forward it again to another five contacts/groups. So it does not stop mass forwards but makes it more difficult for the user.
