How to forward messages in WhatsApp on Android - in detail?
To forward a message in WhatsApp on an Android device, follow these detailed steps:
- Open the Chat: First, open the chat where you have received or want to send the message. You can do this by tapping on the chat in your list of conversations.
- Select the Message(s): To forward a single message, long press on it until it gets highlighted. If you wish to forward multiple messages, tap and hold on one message, then tap on other messages while still holding the first one. This will select all the messages you want to forward.
- Tap the Forward Icon: After selecting the message(s), look at the top of your screen for a set of icons that appear. Among these, you'll find an icon shaped like a curved arrow pointing to the right. Tap on this 'Forward' icon.
- Choose the Recipient: A new window will open, displaying a list of your contacts or groups. Scroll through the list to find the recipient(s) you want to forward the message to. You can also use the search bar at the top to quickly find a specific contact or group.
- Add a Comment (Optional): Before sending the message, you have the option to add a comment. Tap on the text box that says 'Add a comment' and type your message. This will appear above the forwarded message in the chat of the recipient.
- Send the Message: Once you have selected the recipient(s) and added any comments if desired, tap the 'Send' button (usually represented by an arrow or a paper airplane icon). The message(s) will now be forwarded to the chosen contact(s) or group(s).
By following these steps, you can easily forward messages from WhatsApp on your Android device.
