Surely, more than once you have been recounting a salsa or gossip that has happened to you on WhatsApp and you have not been able to express yourself well. You end up forwarding messages from that person you've had a fight with, but the recipient doesn't know anything because the messages arrive out of order Well, you should know that there's a way to forward WhatsApp messages with the name of the original user who wrote it, the date and the exact time it was done. All this so that no one has any doubt as to what said who and when said it.Follow these steps if you have an Android mobile.
Forwarding WhatsApp messages
There are two different ways to copy a message and paste it directly into a different conversation It is very useful for making appointments from other conversations. That is, to show what messages have been sent or received. But there is a problem, only one of these methods provides context information.
If we forward a message, we will only be able to transfer it from one conversation to another quickly, but not effectively. The forward arrow automatically appears on photos and videos, but not on messages. For these you have to select them and press the arrow. Immediately afterwards, you mark which conversations or chats you want to forward to. And ready. The message appears as is in those. But, as we said, without any kind of extra information
Now, if we use the copy function, things change. And it is that WhatsApp collects other important data in addition to the message it copies. Questions such as the name of the user who wrote it or the specific date Elements that do appear in the destination conversation when said message is pasted.
How to forward a message with context
The process is very simple. Just mark the message(s) of a conversation that you want to forward with context. It can be a long list or just one. A long press is used to open the selection function, later adding all the messages you want with new simple presses on said content. Of course, this function does not allow you to select multimedia content such as photos, videos or audios.
The next step is to copy these messages. To do this, WhatsApp has a button at the top of the chat. The icon is two equal leaves. One click on it is enough to copy all these messages.
Finally, all that remains is to go to the destination conversation. That is, the chat where you want to forward. Here you perform a long press on the writing space, at the bottom of the screen. This brings up the Paste option, with which to display all the copied text.
And ready. The process displays the message with all the context information. All you have to do is touch up what you want or click send to show it to the other person in the chat.
Context information
With this function, what we achieve is to provide much more information about the message itself.Now, there are a couple of ideas to keep in mind when forwarding messages in this way. First of all, you have to know that the name of the person who wrote the message swill be the one that has been saved in the phonebook as contact This appears just after the brackets with the date and time information to know who wrote each message.
The data in the brackets is really useful for placing a message at a specific point in time. This way we will know at what time the original message was sent or received, avoiding giving explanations to those who are showing all this information.
Finally, keep in mind that all this information can be falsified Don't forget that the text is pasted flat on the compose box. Here we still have the opportunity to delete part of the message, alter dates or change any other detail.
