FAQ
What is the difference between forwarding messages individually and merged forwarding?
- Forwarding messages individually sends each selected message to the target conversation as a separate message.
- Merged forwarding combines multiple messages into one merged item before sending.
- If you want recipients to review the content message by message, use individual forwarding.
Can I forward messages to multiple groups or contacts at the same time?
- Yes. In the contact selection panel, you can select multiple target conversations.
- You can choose targets from the Recent list first, then switch to Contacts to continue searching.
- After confirmation, the selected messages are sent separately to all selected targets.
What types of messages can be forwarded?
- Individual forwarding supports multiple message types, including text, images, files, emojis, and cloud-document cards.
- If you forward a cloud-document message, recipients still need the required access permissions.
- If recipients cannot open the content, check the document sharing permissions first.
