Social Media App Whatsapp Restrict False Forwarding message

It is observed that while taking benefits from social media apps, there are lot of misleading information also spread all over the social network.

Whatsapp is the No.1 social media messaging app among all the big name such as facebook messenger, we chat etc. with presently 1.6 billion active users. Due to its big active audience, false messages spread like a bush fire.  

To avoid globally spread of the false messages, WhatsApp puts limitations on forwarding messages. Those messages who have already been forwarded multiple times — can now only be forwarded to one chat. A hand-operated effort to pick an appropriate message and manually forward it to multiple contacts.

In Past, social media messaging app WhatsApp enabled message forwarding to 5 contacts at once but to avoid misleading information and viral messages, the company has implemented this new rule to control bogus news. The decision was announced by Facebook-owned company last week.

The reason behind this act of restriction that extensive data of messages link COVID-19 to 5G (5th generation mobile network) wireless internet and other false information linking to various countries.

5G conspiracy ideologists dispute that the new network creates radiofrequency radiation that can harm DNA and lead to cancer. A piece of detailed information is available on 5g.

This restriction comes with the latest update of the social media app whatsapp.

Moreover, other social media apps are also taking steps towards these types of false acts. one of the major social video search engine i.e. Youtube also take steps towards the false spread of COVID19 information around the globe.

Note : if you want to know actual situation for COVID 19 around the world, please visit world health organization (WHO) and don't take serious notes on false information which are virals on social media.
