Summary
Facebook's sister-app WhatsApp will soon be rolling out two new features for forwarded message which will reveal the count of how frequently that message has been forwarded. The two new features called 'Forwarding Info' and 'Frequently Forwarded' are unavailable at the moment, but will be rolled out soon.
Highlights:
- Whatsapp first rolled out a forward tag feature in July 2018 which indicated which messages had been forwarded. In January 2019, the platform extended this feature globally.
- The new 'Forwarding Info' feature will be available in the 'Message Info' section where users will be able to see how many times a message has been forwarded. The other feature 'Frequently Forwarded' will be used to tag a message that has been forwarded more than four times.
