Have you been sent a message and want to forward it to a contact or group on WhatsApp ? For a long time, the famous messaging application has allowed us to forward messages without any problem, but how can we remove the “forwarded” that appears next to the WhatsApp message when it is resent? Well, you just have to follow the simple steps that we explain below.
How to forward WhatsApp messages without showing “forwarded”?
If you want to forward a message that someone has sent to you via WhatsApp, you just have to click on it and you will see how several options appear, one of which is the symbol of a slightly curved arrow that if you click it will allow you to send that same one again message to another person or chat. The same happens with photos or videos, although in this case the curved arrow symbol already appears next to the image.
It is as we say a really simple action , but the person who receives the message or the photo or video will see how the word “forwarded ” always appears next to it, something that sometimes we do not want to appear so there is a way to eliminate that word and that the person can receive the message as if it were completely new.
How to remove the “forwarded”? Unfortunately, among the WhatsApp functions there is not one to eliminate this word . That is, the application does not allow us to do it with a button or any of its options, but that does not mean that it is not possible.
In fact, removing the “forwarded” from WhatsApp messages is very easy to do. We explain it to you in these steps:
- The first thing we have to do is press on the message we want to forward, click on the three dots on the top right and choose the option to ” copy “.
- Then we go to the chat where we want to send the message and click on the bubble to write a new message.
- Then the option »Paste” will appear and we will see how the selected text is pasted and we can send the message without any forwarding.
- In the case that it is a photo or a video, what we have to do is download the file to our device and then we can send it to whoever we want without the “forwarded” appearing.
What is WhatsApp “forwarded” for?
We can see that although somewhat laborious, it is very easy to eliminate that “forwarded” that on the other hand makes all the sense that it exists for WhatsApp, since the app uses this to know those messages that are likely to be “spam”, since each message It has a limit of times to be “forwarded” a maximum of 5 times (or 5 conversations at the same time) and in this way the application prevents the spread of “spam” messages, hoaxes or scams.
