It is no longer news that fake news is spreading faster than the actual fact ... the more fake news is more likely to spread by simply tapping WhatsApp "Forward".
But as reported last week, this chat in the instant messaging app will now be limited to one chat. The change only affects messages that are often transmitted to the app and will limit sharing to only one conversation at a time.
This move is meant to reduce the speed at which messages spread via the chat app. Messages that have been forwarded many times are labeled with double arrows.
The restriction is now live in WhatsApp, on both the stable (v2.20.108) and beta (v2.20.122) channels. As expected, this doesn’t affect regular messages (still limited to five at a time), just frequently forwarded ones.
This may not completely eliminate the spread of fake information but will slow the limits at which its spread since users can still copy and paste the messages to their friends.
Update your WhatsApp to the latest on play stores and the new restriction feature will be active.
