About This Feature
Overview
Forward Messages Individually is a collaboration chat feature in WPS Office for Windows. It lets you select multiple chat messages and send them to another conversation as separate forwarded messages while keeping the original sender information.
Core capabilities include:
- Multi-select messages: Open multi-select mode from the message right-click menu and choose several messages.
- Send messages separately: Forward selected messages one by one instead of combining them into a single merged card.
- Forward to multiple targets: Choose one or more contacts or group chats as destinations.
- Add a note: Enter an extra message in the note box before sending.
This feature is useful for sharing discussion context across chats, passing key updates to another group, and adding a short explanation before forwarding.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports selecting multiple chat messages in a conversation, using Forward Messages Individually, sending them as separate messages to one or more target chats, and adding a note before sending. | Teams supports forwarding chat messages, files, images, and other content. When multiple messages are forwarded, Teams bundles them into a single message and keeps the original order. | Google Chat supports forwarding a single message to another person or space and allows an added note. Its official help also explains forwarding restrictions between internal and external conversations. | Notion Mail is scheduled to shut down on September 22, 2026. The official help page focuses on exporting and saving mail data rather than a stable equivalent to individual chat-message forwarding. | Acrobat focuses on sharing PDF files by email for review or delivery. It is designed for document sharing rather than forwarding chat messages individually. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS can select multiple messages in one action and send them as separate forwarded messages to multiple target conversations. Distinct: each forwarded message stays separate for easier reading in the destination chat. | Compared with WPS: Teams bundles multiple forwarded messages into one combined message instead of sending them separately. | Compared with WPS: Google Chat's official help describes forwarding one message, not selecting multiple messages for separate forwarding in one action. | Compared with WPS: the current official Notion page is about product shutdown and migration, so it is only a weak equivalent. | Compared with WPS: Adobe centers on PDF sharing workflows, not chat-based message forwarding. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS is well suited to chat workflows where multiple messages need to remain separate after forwarding. For daily collaboration tasks that involve sending several messages to one or more contacts or groups, this approach makes the forwarded content easier to review in sequence.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable Users | Main Need | How WPS Helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Syncing updates to multiple groups | Team leads and coordinators | The same set of messages needs to be sent to several group chats | Select multiple messages and forward them individually to multiple target chats in one action |
| 2 | Sharing earlier context with a new member | New project members and collaborators | Earlier discussion needs to be shared quickly | Select key messages and forward them separately while keeping original sender information |
| 3 | Passing discussion results to another department | Cross-team collaborators | Copying and pasting can break order or miss details | Forward selected messages directly from the original chat |
| 4 | Adding context before forwarding | Senders who need to explain why the messages matter | Original messages alone may not be enough | Add a note in the message box at the bottom of the forwarding panel |
| 5 | Finding a target outside the recent list | Users who often work across many chats | The target contact or group is not in Recent | Switch to the Contacts tab and search by name or group |
