WhatsApp's new shocking feature

New Delhi, June 08: The giant social media network Facebook-owned WhatsApp has started rolling out a new feature for its Android Beta users with the latest version 2.18.179.

Whenever you forward a message to another person, the message will be now labeled as 'Forwarded', making it easier for users to distinguish between the normal and forwarded messages. This feature is present only in the Beta version of Android but expected to roll out to stable versions of Android, iOS and Windows Phone platforms very soon.

WhatsApp has been working on this feature for months now, but it's rolled out with the latest beta version of Android.

Here's how the new feature works: Whenever you forward a new feature to someone in your contact list or a group, that message will have a 'forwarded' label on top along with symbol.

Also, this feature will be annoying at times because it lets others know that you're forwarding a message.

WhatsApp is also testing group voice and video calling features for both Android and iOS users. Some users already received the group calling feature, and the broader rollout is expected to begin in the coming days.
