WhatsApp ‘Forward Preview’ feature is currently not accessible by beta testers, but will be made available in the future.

WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature will let users review a message before forwarding it. WABetaInfo, a fan site known for accurate information of WhatsApp’s upcoming features, put out a tweet saying the feature will be available in feature. The ability to preview of a message or media before forwarding will be included in WhatsApp for beta version 2.18.325 for Android.

WhatsApp ‘Forward Preview’ feature is currently not accessible by beta testers, but will be made available in the future. An exact timeline for the roll out is unknown at this point. WhatsApp’s upcoming feature will reportedly ask users to review whether they want to confirm or cancel forwarding the message or media. The option will appear when users forward a message or media to two or more people on their contact list.

WhatsApp is likely working on the feature in the wake of growing concerns of mob violence, lynching etc in India due to circulation of misinformation on the platform. The Facebook-owned company recently put a limit of five forwards in India. This means, a user can only forward a message or media to five contacts at once.

WhatsApp beta for Android 2.18.325: when you forward a message or media to two or more chats, WhatsApp will show you a preview before forwarding the item, so you can confirm or cancel the operation.
