WhatsApp is now labelling forwarded messages to fight fake news


Now you'll know if a message was written by the sender or forwarded from another thread.

In an attempt to curb the spreading of inaccurate and sometimes downright wrong information, WhatsApp announced that it is rolling out a feature that indicates which message has been "forwarded".

This is a great move to ensure that the receivers know whether a message was indeed written by the sender or was just forwarded from another chat thread.
