In an effort to stop the expansion of hoaxes these days they use on their network, WhatsApp has decided to take action on this issue by introducing new ways to discourage its users from conveying these messages.
As soon as the Facebook messaging company goes into the records of the messages sent so we know how often it is being transmitted, they now want to go one step further and start blocking those who spread the message to a greater extent on their network. The new step is not to allow the message to be transmitted to individual or group contacts at the same time, thus trying to prevent more messages from being transmitted. This step does not work immediately, but rather will apply to messages that were previously sent 5 times, so up to 6 a user who wants to broadcast that message will no longer have the opportunity to do so by selecting several conversations.
This measure tries to discourage rather than prevent itWhatsApp has seen its increase in traffic due to incarceration and as they comment on the WhatsApp Web site itself, they know that not only hoaxes are being distributed, but there are also news and messages that their users want to share invitations, jokes with others.

This is the third step taken in recent times to prevent the spread of hoaxes by WhatsApp. Last year, a so-called "double arrow" was introduced, which indicated that the message was transmitted over and over again, thus alerting the recipient, adding to the simultaneous transmission limit. That means, as shown by a 25 percent decrease in message transmission.
The level of hoaxes circulating on the network these days is accessible and any user can see it because it is very difficult to escape its reception. Yes, well to exceed this restriction is straightforward, since the user is able to copy the text and redirect it, of course, given the way these messages are transmitted this limit may be sufficient to restrict the maximum number of users to continue to distribute them.
There is currently no date for this limit, and we do not know if it will be introduced in future updates or not.
