WhatsApp Removes Quick Forward Option for Media Messages, Limits Forwarding a Message to 5 Users

A few years back we added a feature to WhatsApp that lets you forward a message to multiple chats at once.

Today, we're launching a test to limit forwarding that will apply to everyone using WhatsApp. In India - where people forward more messages, photos, and videos than any other country in the world - we'll also test a lower limit of 5 chats at once and we'll remove the quick forward button next to media messages.

More changes to forwarding

The feature is currently rolling out on the iPhone and Android versions of our app.

WhatsApp reportedly working to bring ads to iOS

Facebook-owned instant messaging service WhatsApp has already confirmed that it will start showing ads to users through its status feature sometime in 2019. It seems WhatsApp may already be working to bring ads to the iOS version of the app. The same may be true about Android as well. WABetaInfo reports that "WhatsApp is already working to implement ads in the iOS app," without quoting an exact time-frame when iOS users will start seeing ads in status.
