Under unrelenting pressure from the Indian government to effectively handle the menace of rumours and fake news on its platform,
Whatsapp has announced another series of measures to curtail mass forwarding of messages, images and videos.
In a statement on Friday, Whatsapp said it is launching a test to limit forwarding on WhatsApp. "In India — where people forward more messages, photos, and videos, than any other country in the world — we'll also test a lower limit of five chats at once and we'll remove the quick forward button next to media messages."
