New Feature of Whatsapp

WhatsApp 'Forwarded Message' Feature Spotted Testing, Aims to Reduce Spam

"Today, WhatsApp has modified the behaviour of the feature, that will show on the bubble (when the feature will be enabled in future), a 'Forwarded Message' string, if the message has been forwarded from another chat (or from the same chat)," read the information on the website.

WhatsApp recently debuted the Group Description feature in its beta for Android and Windows Phone. Unlike the Forwarded Message and Sticker features, this is visible to users and does not need to be enabled via code. Any member in the group can edit the text in the new group description tab, although WhatsApp might be looking to restrict access to admins in future updates. The maximum character limit for group descriptions is 500 characters. This move is expected to offer better context to public groups after chat invite links were launched by WhatsApp in 2016.
