In Whatsapp chats it is now possible to quote messages and forward them in other conversations as you do with emails
By now WhatsApp has practically replaced the old SMS and more and more users are starting to use smartphones (especially very young ones) directly using WhatsApp as the main means of mass communication.
For some time we have seen how from WhatsApp you can send PDFs and documents also becoming a useful tool for work and study; but among the many functions that should be learned immediately we certainly find the citations and the forwarding of WhatsApp messages, available on all the platforms on which it is possible to run WhatsApp.
Let’s see together how to quote and forward WhatsApp messages on our phone, regardless of the operating system used; for those who use a lot of WhatsApp Web or the WhatsApp PC app, we will also show you how to quote and forward from your computer (very useful at work or to reply on a workgroup).
To quote and forward WhatsApp messages on Android devices, all we have to do is tap and hold on a message of our interest, so as to see the buttons up.
The buttons that appear (from left to right) have very precise functions, as shown below:
The cited messages will appear at the top of the text field and appear as duplicate messages, just like on the forums. The forwarded messages instead will appear in the new chat or in the group in which we place them with the writing Forwarded, so that the interlocutors who participate will know immediately that it is a message from another chat or from another group.
The steps to quote and forward WhatsApp messages on iPhone are very similar to Android: first we hold our finger down on one of the messages to unlock the additional buttons for chats or groups, visible this time as a comic in the first plan.
In the window we will have various buttons available and, on the other hand, they allow you to use the following functions:
The use is much faster and faster than WhatsApp for Android, since the keys have a caption and can therefore be understood without too much difficulty (which is not always obvious on the Android app, where there are only icons).
If we often use WhatsApp Web or the WhatsApp app for Windows and Mac, we can quote and forward messages from there too, using the same keys and methods seen for Android. First we connect the app of our phone to the web service or the desktop app by opening the menu with the three dots at the top right (on Android) or the menu Settings (on iPhone), we press on the item WhatsApp Web O WhatsApp Web/Desktop then we scan the QR code on the site or within the desktop app. Once the account is synchronized, let’s go to the chat or group on which to quote or forward the message and press the mouse on the small arrowhead next to each message.
We will thus obtain a contextual menu with various options:

Quoting and forwarding messages on WhatsApp is very simple after learning how to use all the keys that appear in the apps and the items that you can see on the web version or on the app for Windows and Mac, but if we are a beginner they can certainly generate a little confusing, especially on Android (where there are only icons).
To expand our experience with WhatsApp and become true messaging app experts we can continue reading on our articles Access Whatsapp with the same account on two smartphones or more e Extensions for Whatsapp Web on Chrome.
If, on the other hand, we want to protect access to the app with a password, we recommend that you read our in-depth analysis How to protect WhatsApp by blocking access with a password.
