WhatsApp to limit message forwarding after India mob lynchings

according to Facebook's WhatsApp is launching a test to limit forwarding messages that will apply to all users, the messaging app said on Thursday, after a series of violent incidents in India triggered by false social media messages. WhatsApp said for India, it will also test a lower limit of five chats at once and remove the quick forward button next to media messages. Indians forward more messages, photos and videos than any other country in the world. Beatings and deaths triggered by false incendiary messages in India, WhatsApp's biggest market with more than 200 million users, caused a public relations nightmare, sparking calls from authorities for immediate action.

WhatsApp update to include small 'forwarded' message in effort to fight hoaxes

WhatsApp will now alert people when messages have been forwarded, in an attempt to stop the deadly hoaxes that are being spread on the app. However, bear in mind that, by doing so, you'll lose the ability to see when your own sent messages have been read. From now on, any forwarded message will include a little note in the corner, in italics, saying that it was forwarded. It does not say who the message was forwarded from, and requires the latest version of WhatsApp to work. "We encourage you to think before sharing messages that were forwarded," WhatsApp wrote in a blog post about the update.
