Whatsapp Finally Rolls Out This Big Feature: Here Is How To Get It

Facebook-owned messaging platform WhatsApp has been facing criticism from various quarters over the spread of fake news and was recently reprimanded by the Indian government too. Days after vowing to fight the issue, late on Tuesday, it rolled out the much-awaited ‘Forwarded’ feature. In a blog post, WhatsApp said that from now on, it will highlight when a message is forwarded and not composed by the sender. The company said that this move will make one-on-one and group chats easier to follow.
“Starting today, WhatsApp will indicate which messages you receive have been forwarded to you. This extra context will help make one-on-one and group chats easier to follow,” the blog post read. It added that because of this new WhatsApp feature, the users will also be able to determine if their friend or relative wrote the message they sent or if it originally came from someone else. However, to see this new forwarding label, users need to have the latest supported version of WhatsApp on their phone.
