If you forward a message like ‘Good morning’ on WhatsApp, then…

New beta version 2.18.179 has been released to Android users of WhatsApp. This includes labeling of the message, i.e., if the message has been forwarded, it will be clearly written on the chat window of the recipient of the message. This will be written to the receiver in every forwarded message. Due to which messages like ‘Good Morning’ or other non-essential information can be identified only by looking at them. Please note that this label will be visible to the receiver as well as the sender.

This new change in WhatsApp comes just after the media visibility feature was introduced. The feature with the help of which Android users can prevent their content from appearing in the gallery. This feature has come with a new contact shortcut, the benefits of which will soon start becoming available to all WhatsApp users.

To use the new forwarded feature, you will have to send a message to a contact that has come from somewhere near you. As soon as you send this message, ‘Forwarded’ will be written above the message. Keep in mind, it will not be possible to remove this label yourself. Forwarded Label is initially in beta testing. You can experience it through the beta version or APK file of WhatsApp.
