WhatsApp: Forward messages

To forward WhatsApp messages on iPhone tap and hold the message bubble to bring up the context menu. Four options are presented, namely “Reply” and “Forward”. Select “Forward”.

Next up, WhatsApp will bring up a selection screen. If you want to forward an entire conversation just select the additional messages you would like to send to another contact. You may tap their respective selection icon to their left. When finished, simply tap the arrow symbol at the bottom left of the screen to select the recipient from the list of your contacts.

Edit forwarded WhatsApp messages

You will still have the opportunity to change parts of the message within the text field. Note that WhatsApp doesn’t flag or specify the message as having been forwarded, thus it may be appropriate to do so yourself, depending on the message and situation.
