You might have heard of the new Whatsapp ruling regarding forward-messages. Whatsapp in a blog post<\/a>, dated July 19, 2018, stated that the instant messaging app will be taking up a new measure to restrict the number of people to whom a message could be forwarded. The number decided upon was 20. This means that a sender would only be able to forward a message\/image\/video to a maximum of 20 other chats.\u00a0 Apparently, this regulation was necessitated by the influx of fake \/misinformed news which is forwarded profusely by users without verifying it. According to WhatsApp, this goes against their principles as an instant messaging platform which holds safety and privacy of the user at its core. However, there will be people who would want to enjoy unrestricted Whatsapp functionality hence I will be showing you how to overcome\u00a0Whatsapp Forwarding Restriction.<\/p>\n

Whatsapp Forwarding Restriction More Severe in India?<\/h3>\n

There is another aspect to the story as well. In India, where according to the blog<\/a>, more messages\/images\/videos are forwarded than any other country in the world, the limit was decided to be 5. This means that if you are in India\u00a0you will now be able to forward a message to a maximum of 5 chats only. This limit was deemed appropriate by Whatsapp given the social and political makeup of the country. The\u00a0Whatsapp Forwarding Restriction was implemented in India to counter the spread of false\/unverified news stories. However, this restriction also hurts those who don’t mean to cause any harm and simply want to have a\u00a0bigger reach in order to spread educational awareness on different matters.<\/p>\n

\"Whatsapp

One of the measures mentioned above is the restriction imposed on the number of chats a message can be forwarded to. Another such measure is the removal of\u00a0\u201cquick forward\u201d button next to media messages for Indian users. Whatsapp will also be labeling forwarded messages to inform the receiver that the message received is indeed a forwarded message.<\/p>\n

How To Avoid Whatsapp Forwarding Restriction and Forward Unlimited Messages<\/h3>\n

However, as is the case with most technological restrictions, there is almost always a loophole\u00a0whereby the intended restriction can be overcome. In this case, there is an unofficial version of Whatsapp called GBWhatsapp that offers an abundance of features that can not be found in the official app. Moreover, no restriction on message forwarding either.<\/p>\n

What is GBWhatsapp?<\/h3>\n

GBWhatsApp is a modded version of WhatsApp that offers a plethora of amazing features and a lot of\u00a0privacy options and themes.
