The Facebook Inc. owned popular messaging app WhatsApp has got a new feature on its, with the latest version pushed on August 12, 2016.

WhatsApp users will now be able to share, and forward, messages to multiple contacts or groups at the same time. For example, if you need to share a message, video, photo, etc from an external application or share a message from one chat, to multiple people or groups, simply keep tapping the names. You will see tick marks appearing on message being sent on them. This new feature will help you save the trouble of forwarding messages to multiple individuals separately.

Previously, WhatsApp would not allow multiple forwarding or sharing, and one had to forward the same message each time, separately, making it a tedious task.

In addition, previously WhatsApp rolled voice mail feature to help users to leave a feedback or message in case their calls go unanswered or are rejected.
