Everyone loves to text. Most of us have multiple conversations and groups going on at the same time and it’s great! Except when those conversations turn into “forward central”.
You know what we’re talking about. Those annoying forwarded messages of pictures and videos that ends up taking up precious space in our phones.
Are you one of THESE people?
Seasons greetings! Forward. Good Morning photo! Forward. Funny video! Forward.
If you are, we’ve got bad news for you. WhatsApp is restricting the number of times you can forward a message! From being able to forward messages almost unlimitedly, users are now restricted to just five forwards!

Back in the day, you could forward the same message to 20 people or groups, but ever since viral rumours triggered killings and attempted lynchings in India, WhatsApp has decided that it needed to do more to crack down on rumour-sharers.
The move was first introduced in India last July, and now, it's being implemented worldwide.
So let your parents, aunties, uncles and others who constantly forward messages to you, know! Only five forwards a day from now on!
On the bright side, they might reach their quota before they forward the messages to you!
Do you agree with WhatsApp’s move to limit forwards? Let us know!
