WhatsApp ‘forwarded’ message feature to get two big updates
Recently, it was reported that WhatsApp is testing in-app browsing and reverse image search features, which will help users keep a check on fake content. Now, the Facebook-owned messaging service is planning to improve the “Forwarded” message feature to combat fake news. It will reportedly add two big features to it, which is dubbed as “Forwarding Info”, and “Frequently Forwarded”.
The name itself gives an idea of how these features will actually help combat fake news. The “Forwarding Info” feature will let you know how many times a message that you have sent to your friends has been forwarded. One can check this information in the Message Info section. To access this section, one just needs to long press on the sent message and then select the info (i) icon on top of the WhatsApp chat window. ?
