Meta’s WhatsApp is introducing a new feature in its upcoming iOS update that allows users to forward messages and media within channels.
As reported by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is testing this feature publicly to streamline the sharing of messages and media. Channel owners will now be able to forward messages, photos, videos, and GIFs from any channel directly to their own channel with ease.
To use this feature, channel owners can simply forward a message from their favorite channel and select their own channel from the forwarding options.
This update simplifies the process of sharing updates across multiple channels by eliminating intermediary steps.
Initially announced for Android users last week, this feature is now included in the “WhatsApp for iOS 24.13.79 update,” making it available to iOS users as well.
The feature will be gradually rolled out to some accounts in the coming weeks. Users are advised to regularly update WhatsApp via the App Store or the TestFlight app to ensure they receive this feature as soon as it becomes available..
