Things to Consider

  • When forwarding a message, ensure that you have the necessary permission from the original sender to share their message.
  • Be careful when forwarding messages in group chats, as they can quickly become overwhelming for recipients. Only forward relevant and important information.
  • Some messages may contain sensitive or misleading information. Verify the authenticity and accuracy of the content before forwarding it to others.

Now that you know how to forward WhatsApp messages on both mobile and desktop devices, you can easily share important and interesting content with your contacts and groups. Happy messaging!
