About This Feature
Overview
Forward Messages Individually is a chat forwarding feature in WPS collaboration. It helps you forward multiple messages to other contacts, groups, or recent conversations, with each message sent as a separate item. This makes it easier for recipients to follow the original order and see the original sender information.
Core capabilities include:
- Multi-select messages: Open multi-select mode from the message context menu and choose several messages.
- Send messages one by one: Forward selected messages as separate entries instead of a merged card.
- Forward to multiple targets: Choose one or more contacts or groups as recipients.
- Add a note: Include an extra message before sending the forwarded content.
This feature is useful for sharing discussion history with teammates, passing key chat context to another colleague, or moving a sequence of messages into a new conversation.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports selecting multiple chat messages and forwarding them individually to one or more target conversations, with an optional note and original sender information kept in the forwarded results. | Microsoft Teams can forward chat messages, files, images, Loop components, and app cards. It can also forward multiple messages, but Microsoft says multiple forwarded messages are bundled into a single message. | Google Chat supports forwarding a message to another person or space and allows an added note. Its official help also lists forwarding restrictions between internal and external conversations. | Notion Mail focuses on Gmail-connected email workflows, settings, and inbox management. No official page surfaced for native chat-style message-by-message forwarding. | Adobe Acrobat focuses on sharing PDF links, collecting comments, and review workflows rather than forwarding chat messages one by one. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS sends selected messages as separate forwarded items and keeps original sender information, which is helpful when recipients need to read the chat context in sequence. | Compared with WPS: Teams can forward multiple messages, but the official page says they are bundled into one message instead of being sent as separate entries. | Compared with WPS: Google Chat official help currently describes forwarding a single message and includes organization-based forwarding limits. | Compared with WPS: Notion official information is centered on email and Gmail-connected workflows rather than instant chat forwarding. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat is designed for document sharing and review, not conversation-by-conversation message forwarding. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS is a practical fit when you need to preserve message order and sender context during forwarding. For chat-heavy teamwork on macOS, sending messages as separate forwarded items can make the conversation easier to review than bundled forwarding or document-sharing workflows.
