What’s App Limits Forward To Five Users
Facebook Inc’s WhatsApp has announced the limitation to the number of times a user can forward a message to five, starting on Monday, the popular messaging service looks to fight “misinformation and rumours”, company executives said on Monday.
Previously, a WhatsApp user could forward a message to 20 individuals or groups.
The limit of five is an expansion of a measure WhatsApp put in place in India in July after the spread of rumours on social media led to killings and lynching attempts.
“We’re imposing a limit of five messages all over the world as of today,” Victoria Grand, Vice President for Policy and Communications at WhatsApp, said at an event in the Indonesian capital.
WhatsApp, which has around 1.5 billion users, has been trying to find ways to stop misuse of the app.
