WhatsApp limits forwarding repeatedly forwarded chats to one group at a time

WhatsApp is introducing new features to not just add new functionalities but also to enhance the overall user experience. A key focus of the latter involves reducing the spread of misinformation. A new feature (spotted by WABetaInfo) or an update in the app would try to curtail the same. We are talking about a limit on the number of times a WhatsApp message can be forwarded in one go. It is 5 chats if the message you are forwarding has been previously forwarded once. On the other hand, if it has been repeatedly forwarded, you’ll get a prompt saying, “Forwarded messages can only be sent to one group chat.”

Here’s how it works:

New WhatsApp forwarding limits

Source: WABetaInfo

Currently, WhatsApp for iOS beta version 22.7.0.76 in select markets like Brazil is rolling out a barrier on bulk forwarding of messages in the app. 

When you try to forward a message if it has been thus far forwarded just once, you can share it simultaneously to 5 more chats. However, if it is something that’s been shared multiple times then, WhatsApp will tell you that it can be sent to one group chat only. 

This is presumed to be an initiative to restrict or control misinformation on the platform. 

It would be a welcome change for the sake of dissemination of factual, if not good information within the instant messaging app. Yes, it would occasionally limit the freedom of forwarding a message to multiple groups of friends and family. But, it would be worth it if it manages to get misinformation in check.

In addition to this, the Meta-owned brand is working on a Communities feature that brings related groups together. It is not correctly known at the moment how this would work in reality. We have been told by WABetaInfo that it is more like group chat only but with square icons and a different layout to distinguish it from the regular WhatsApp groups. 

We will know more about it in time when the feature is globally available.

Apart from Realme 9 GT 2 Pro, Realme Air 3 TWS, and a new Realme TV stick, the company will also launch Realme 9 4G at its upcoming launch event on April 7. Realme has further confirmed that this 4G phone will be among the first few to offer 108MP Samsung ISOCELL HM6 Image Sensor, presumably at an aggressive price.

The Realme 9 4G will be the sixth phone in 9-series that includes the Realme 9i, the Realme 9 5G, the Realme 9 5G SE, Realme 9 Pro 5G, and Realme 9 Pro+ 5G.

Without giving away the details, the Chinese manufacturer confirmed that the Realme 9 4G will include an “AMOLED display, powerful processor, and a massive battery”.

Now a dedicated microsite of the phone has gone live that reveals several other key details. 

Apart from the “108MP ProLight camera” the triple camera system on the rear includes a 4cm Macro camera, and a 120-degree super-wide camera. The primary HM6 sensor supports the NanoPixel Plus layout for 3 x 3 binning and will be able to capture 123% more light as compared to the last-gen 108MP Samsung ISOCELL HM2 sensor. 

The AMOLED display supports a 90Hz refresh rate and a 360Hz touch sampling rate. The company claims 1000 Nits of peak brightness and 10240-brightness adjustment levels. The fingerprint reader underneath the display will also integrate a heart rate monitor. 

The phone was earlier spotted on certification websites like FCC and BIS that revealed a 5000 mAh power unit with 33W fast charging. 

The handset weighs 178 grams and measures 7.9mm in thickness. Similar to Realme 9 5G, the 4G variant has a ‘Ripple holographic design’ and comes in three colours Sunburst Gold, Stargaze White, and meteor Black. 

Listings on different certification websites that surfaced earlier reported a 5000 mAh battery with 33W fast charging support. 

Expected Price

The Realme 9 4G price in India will be revealed on April 7 at the official launch that starts at 12: 30 PM IST. We expect the phone to cost under INR 20,000 in India.
