The WhatsApp application decided to expand the tests by creating a new limit for the number of times your messages are accepted. Thus, the time has come for the iOS system to get this feature, after the beta version of Android has already been carried out. The change limits previously relayed messages from being forwarded to more than one group or single contact. Here are some planned changes to WhatsApp!

WABetaInfo, the portal that brings the main WhatsApp updates, conducted a test, in which the phrase “forwarded messages can only be sent to only one chat group” appears on the screen of the cell phone. That is, in other words, a person can only send the same content once, if this message is shared several times.
Strategies for limiting spam
There is still no information from WhatsApp on when the new feature will be launched. However, with confirmation, companies will be in the direction of implementing strategies to limit spam and fake news that spread.
Traditionally, as WhatsApp communication is encrypted (preventing the company from seeing chats), messages include a “counter” type of code. That is, it assists in determining the frequency of content sharing in the application.
- "Forwarded message"
In this case, it is possible that the new rule limits these submissions to no more than five conversations or groups, which has been happening in Brazil since 2020. Thus, the novelty is that the function may become available to other countries.
- “Message forwarded too many times”
The idea, based on the new test, is that forwarding this type of content can only be done once.
Other system changes
- emoji
WhatsApp may also be prepared to allow emoji-based reactions to messages. According to WABetaInfo, tests for this have already been done.
- polls
In addition, the poll function within a group is being studied to be available. Thus, everything indicates that they will also have quality encryption. Therefore, only those who have access to the group will be able to know the questions and answer them.
- Communities
WhatsApp will have the possibility of having a new space called “Community”. For example, its use can be made to facilitate the management of groups. However, no one knows exactly how this feature will work. In this way, the expectation is that it will be possible to divide the groups into categories such as leisure, work, college and others that you prefer.
