<p>WhatsApp has incorporated a new feature in its latest beta (version 2.18.179), which could be handy for identifying spam messages. The chat app is now labelling all forwarded messages with a ‘Forwarded’ tag to help users differentiate an original message from a forwarded one.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>There is currently no option for removing the tag and it should be noted that it is only available for the beta version of the app. One needs to be a beta tester of the app for experiencing the new feature, which comes just days after the introduction of new Media visibility feature that allows users to hide/show their WhatsApp media from their device’s gallery.</p>

<p>Facebook has been packing WhatsApp with new features nearly every other week. Just last week, the company&nbsp;introduced&nbsp;a new feature called ‘Click to Chat’, which allows one to chat with an unsaved contact.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The feature creates a URL to which a phone number can be appended for initiating a chat with someone who isn’t saved to your contacts. The person being contacted needs to have&nbsp;WhatsApp&nbsp;installed on their device and of course, you will need their contact number. To use this option, one needs to navigate to the URL; ‘https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=’ and add the phone number of the person you want to message at the end.</p>

<p>One should note that the appended contact number needs to be in international format, without any prefixed zeros or special characters. For example, one should enter ‘https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=911234567890’ instead of ‘https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=+91-1234567890’.</p>

<p>When entered into a browser, this web address prompts to open a chat in WhatsApp.</p>
