WhatsApp is one of the most used instant messaging services in the world. It tries to bring new features very often to keep it way ahead from the rest. WhatsApp’s 2.19.80 beta update was recently made available on Google Play Beta Program for beta tester with the update it seems that Whatsapp has started to work on two new features.
WhatsApp is also infamously known for sharing fake news. Now, to put a end to the fake messaging campaigns, the WhatsApp team under Facebook is developing two new features that are “Forwarding Info” and “Frequently Forwarded”.
As the name suggests “Frequently Forwarded” feature will allow a user to get more details about a forwarded message, mainly the number of how times the message has been forwarded. It will only be available for the sent messages meaning the messages sent by the users themselves.
The second one named “Forwarding Info” feature allows users to see more details about a forwarded message. You can see details such as Read Time, Delivered time, and number of forwards. This will only work for sent messages, and not for the ones you receive.
These features will be available for Android OS in WhatsApp version 2.19.80. These features will also be available on iOS devices in the coming days. With these features, a user can check the authenticity of the message that they have received, which will help to determine if it is fake or false news.
