    Excuse me, is this the solution? Limit how many I can forward too! They can't do that. People are forwarding stuff without using their minds. Thats not changing

          Maybe in 2020 they will finally allow us to prohibit people from adding us to groups without consent.

              I've been used to this now. It's been quite a few months since it was implemented. Why tell about it now?

                    The very big problem comes when Whatsapp does limit or charge for the pictures/videos/sounds sent both for personal messages or for a status.

                        It is something that won't affect me. If I have to send a single message to multiple people, I have group for that.

                          This has to be a problem in developing countries or sich, because I've never heard from anyone about this in almost 6 years.

                            [deleted post]They've reported on new or changed app features in the past. This is nothing new

                              I get like 1 random spam message or fake news message a month on Whatsapp. People are the problem. I don't have time or space for anyone that wastes my time so they don't exist on my contact list (whatsapp). Simple. If you have a problem with this then you clearly have people you don't need on your phone.

                                In four years I've never received spam on Whatsapp or Viber. But I've also never recieved fake/unwanted calls or SMS. This seems to be the problem of bigger markets.
