Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh), Jul 30 (ANI): WhatsApp has limited the number of forwarded messages to 5 in India. This comes after the Indian government mounted pressure on social media sites and messaging apps to regulate norms accordingly to handle the menace of rumours and fake news on its platform. Earlier this month, WhatsApp had added a new feature to its platform to make it easier for users to identify messages or content which is being circulated across groups and individual chats by labeling them ‘Forwarded’. Reacting to the step taken by the messaging application, people said, “It is a good step taken by the government. This will help in minimising the spread of rumours”.
