WhatsApp is making a big change in message forwarding Very useful
WhatsApp never stops updating you, with the Meta messaging app rolling out new features steadily for weeks. This time around, what has been discovered aims to completely change the way messages are forwarded, thus completely eliminating the confusion that comes with it.
What WABetainfo has learned is that WhatsApp is preparing a radical change to the way messages are forwarded. Now when you forward a message, what appears is a screen where frequent contacts are shown first and then recent chats.
WhatsApp wants to solve this situation, what we saw when analyzing the WhatsApp beta is that a new section has been integrated into the message forwarding process. This was seen in the v.2.24.25.3 version for Android, and it is not yet known whether the change will also be applied to iOS.
By specifying where you want to forward the message, the process is complete and the person or group will find the forwarded message. It's quite simple, in fact, what often happens is that messages are shared and when they are merged into conversations their context is completely lost.

Back to the novelty, WhatsApp has created a new menu before forwarding a message. In this new screen, you can write a message to accompany the forwarded text, image, or audio. What WhatsApp seems to be trying to do is give users the ability to give context to what is being forwarded.
What does WhatsApp allow us to add to forwarded messages? Well, just a custom message, which can be a text message, a document, or links. Thus, it is possible to add context or explanation to the forwarded message, without having to send a separate message.
Imagine you are sending a link to a news story, and you can add additional information or your thoughts. Especially useful in cases where there is a possibility of misinterpreting the redirected content.
It is still unknown when this feature will be rolled out, in fact it may take several weeks to be activated. Of course, WhatsApp's plans will have to be closely followed in order to verify whether this novelty will eventually become an official feature, on the contrary, it will not be integrated in the end.
