WhatsApp new feature update will tag your messages as 'forwarded message' to keep a  check on spam messages. This feature is available for Android users only at this moment. WhatsApp version 2.18.67 beta version has this new feature incorporated. Whenever a user forwards a message or sends any message which is not their own, those messages will be tagged as "forwarded message". This will keep a check to spammers and a user can recognize whether the message is a spam or legit.


There are plenty of spam messages that are still circulating as of today. Some very popular messages say that you need to share a particular message to other WhatsApp groups or your account will be deactivated, share to change color, share to win the lottery and much more. So, when a person forwards such messages, a user of user of a group can easily recognize that this is a spam message by the new tagging feature.

If you want to send a festival wish or a new year wish to many people or groups in your contacts, you can use the option 'Broadcast' without your messages marked as 'forwarded' as spammers don't have this option.
