Reading Time: < 1 minute read

Back in 2009, if you asked someone, “Do you have the WhatsApp app?”, I’m sure the first response you got was, “What the heck is he talking about?” Am I right? Fast forward to 2024, WhatsApp has over 2 billion monthly active users. Every day, millions of messages are forwarded.

With the recent WhatsApp beta for Android v2.24.25.3, you can soon add your message to forwarded messages. This applies when you are forwarding a photo to your friends and family. The moment you hit the Forward button, all they will get is the forwarded message only. But, not your message. With this customization feature, you can even add documents to the forwarded messages as well.

Honestly, I feel this is an interesting feature because it eliminates the need for me to send separate messages. Thanks to WABetaInfo, we have the first look at this feature. As for now, it seems like this feature is going to be available for Android users only. There is a slim chance. Once WhatsApp rolls out this feature officially, it may add this feature to WhatsApp for iOS users, too.
