Gossipers beware! WhatsApp has announced that it will limit the number of times a user can forward a message in order to cut down on gossip and misinformation.
This announcement was made by Victoria Grand, vice president for policy and communications at WhatsApp at an event in Jarkata.
She also announced that the change will be made immediately, which means if users update their WhatsApp, they will only be able to forward a message up to 5 times, down from the initial 20 times.
WhatsApp is one of the social media media platforms that has been blocked by the Zimbabwean government as they allege that it was responsible for fanning the recent fuel price hike protests.
