The corresponding statement was made by the vice-president for politics and communications of WhatsApp Victoria Grand.

“We are introducing a limit on five (forwarded. - RT ) messages worldwide,” Metro quotes its publication.

As noted, previously there was a limitation on 40 messages sent, but after a corresponding experiment in India, where more than 40 people were killed over the past two years due to the spread of false information, it was decided to introduce a new restriction worldwide.

Earlier it was reported that WhatsApp will stop working on some phones.

The head of the Association of Professional Users of Social Networks and Messengers, Vladimir Zykov, in an interview with Nation News, praised the draft new rules for the verification of messenger users.
