WhatsApp is now limiting the forwarding of messages, in part to combat the spreading of mis-information, but also in reminding people that WhatsApp is meant to be a one-to-one-type of private messaging.
One wonders if there is a hidden agenda to push users to use Facebook instead, for forwarding messages on a large scale to reduce the load on their WhatsApp infrastructure. Facebook is a place they can monetize with ads, while WhatsApp, is only generating losses.
