The Forwarded feature is available on latest beta version 2.18.179 of WhatsApp. As per the NDTV report, WhatsApp is testing this feature from past few months, but today WhatsApp rolls out this feature with the latest beta version for Android. Moreover, the Forwarded label will be added on both recipients and senders sides. This feature was started rolling just after the Media Visibility feature which allows users to hide or show WhatsApp media content on their gallery.
To see how this Forwarded feature works, you just need to select and forward one of the messages to someone in your contact list or a group. Now you will see Forwarded label will appear on the top right corner of the forwarded messages. Just to inform you, there is no option to disable this forwarded label.
