WhatsApp’s Limit on Stickers: At a time people are more dependent on whatsapp than any other communication platform, WhatsApp has presented new measures in an offer to confine the spread of phony news.
Now whatsapp has introduced an algorithm to identify fake messages lets suppose if a message is forwarded by you 5 times, now you will be able to forward same message to further contacts just one at a time.
You can enter the WhatsApp application and try to write a message to one of the contacts on your WhatsApp. The text will automatically turn into a sticker. There will be several choices of sticker types that you can choose from, and press on the sticker you like.
the organization says it’s seen a “noteworthy increment” in the quantity of sent messages on the stage, and keeping in mind that a large number of them are generally blameless – images and supplications, for instance – this training is adding to the spread of deception.
“We trust it’s essential to slow the spread of these messages down to keep WhatsApp a spot for individual discussion,” the organization included.
This is not the first time Whatsapp has implemented such a restriction ,Facebook parent company of whatsapp messenger were accused of playing a pivotal role in the spread of misinformation during violence in India in 2018.

Message Forwarding
Whatsapp had reduced message forwarding to 20 in past on the basis of that but its for sure it wont stop the spread of fake news entirely.
“We’ve seen a significant increase in the amount of forwarding which users have told us can feel overwhelming and can contribute to the spread of misinformation,” said a WhatsApp spokesperson in a local blogpost couple of days ago.
