WhatsApp will soon tell you how many times your messages are forwarded

WhatsApp has added a new update in its latest beta version, available through the Google Play Beta program. In WhatsApp version 2.19.80 we found information about the number of times a message has been forwarded. WhatsApp does not take user security as a joke and this new measure is intended to avoid dangerous hoaxes or prevent fake news.

The most used messaging application has been working on this feature for some time and will soon enable it for all users.Until a while ago WhatsApp already notified us when a message was forwarded of another conversation but now it will not only notify us of this but also of the number of times it has been forwarded . If you have updated WhatsApp to this version, this new feature may still not work for you. It is normal, at the moment it is only available for developers and root users.

How to know the number of times a message has been forwarded in WhatsApp?

The only thing you have to do to find out how many times a message has been forwarded is to follow these very simple steps:

• Find the message that has been forwarded.
• Hold down on the message.
• Click on the option Info that we will find in the options menu that appears when selecting a message.

Thanks to WaBetaInfo we have been able to see what this new option will be like in its entirety. The tab will indicate how many times the message has been shared as well as the data regarding the sending and receiving of the message that we were already able to see before. In this way, we will know if the message is going viral or if it has just been forwarded from another contact. One of the things that we already know about this new option is that this option will only be available when a message is sent and not with images or other information. It is a step in WhatsApp security that wants to prevent SPAM and warn users.

As we have indicated, this feature is not yet available to everyone in the beta version of WhatsApp but it will soon be released in the final version of the application. You just have to wait for WhatsApp to make it public, follow our news and you will surely find out about the change quickly.
