WhatsApp is restricting the ability of users worldwide to forward messages as viral hoaxes on its platform continue to be blamed for a spate of mob violence
It currently allows users to forward messages simultaneously to as many people and groups as they want.
In India — people forward more messages, photos, and videos than any other country in the world
WhatsApp mentions that users in its biggest market, India, will see a limit of five chats at once.
So users shall be able to forward message to maximum 5 people at once.
Also, they are figuring out to remove quick forward button to add friction to the forwarding attitude.
It has recently started labelling forwarded message to reduce hoax message impact.
