Viral message forwards have dropped by 70% since the message forwarding limit was introduced
Earlier this month, WhatsApp introduced a new ban that would allow WhatsApp users to send a large number of viral messages to five people at once. The move by WhatsApp was aimed at curbing the spread of misleading news.
The company says the move has had a major positive impact.
This has reduced the spread of viral messages by 70% in just two weeks. WhatsApp considers any message to be "forwarded" more than five times.
By the time WhatsApp set a limit of only five people to forward messages to, the number of forwarded messages on WhatsApp had dropped by 25%.
Facebook is introducing a new feature called Messenger Room in its messaging application Messenger. This feature will allow users to video chat in groups. Messenger Rooms allows users to talk to up to 50 WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram partners at a time.
Initially this feature allows up to 8 people to talk at once, but soon this limit will be increased to 50. This feature will work not only on Facebook but also on Instagram and WhatsApp.
How this feature works is not yet known. Facebook has long wanted its users to cross-platform chat with each other. This feature has fulfilled the desire of Facebook and many users.
This feature allows users to start a "room" from Messenger's news feed.
