WhatsApp limits the re-sending of messages to combat false news.

WhatsApp has reduced from 20 to 5 the number of senders to whom the same message can be sent at the same time all over the world, to avoid spreading false news.

Last July the company announced this limit in India, but in the rest of the world it has maintained in twenty the number of contacts to which the same message could be forwarded simultaneously.

Now the social network has imposed a new forwarding limit to five messages around the world.

This measure was launched yesterday, January 21, and Android users will be the first to be affected,
