FAQ

Why can’t I see the Multi-select option?

  1. Make sure you are in the message area of a chat conversation instead of the contact list or another panel.
  2. Right-click any message and check whether the message menu opens.
  3. If the menu does not appear, switch to a conversation that can be operated normally and try again.
  4. If needed, reopen the chat window and repeat the action.

What does the recipient see after Merge and Forward?

  1. The recipient sees one chat record card in the target conversation.
  2. The card title usually appears in a format similar to “Chat history of xxx and xxx.”
  3. After opening the card, the recipient can review each message, sender, and time entry.

What is the difference between Merge and Forward and forwarding messages one by one?

  1. Merge and Forward packages multiple messages into one card and sends them together.
  2. Forwarding one by one sends each message separately into the target conversation.

What can I do if I sent a merged forward to the wrong conversation?

  1. First confirm whether the message was sent to the wrong conversation.
