Want to defeat WhatsApp's single forward restrictions?

WhatsApp, Facebook's wildly popular Instant Messaging platform, in it's battle to slow 'fake news' has restricted the number of times content can be forwarded on it's platform to 5 persons/groups. In extreme circumstances, described as a piece of media getting 5 forwards away from it's originator, the app will reduce that restriction to just one. 

So if you want to forward that juicy must-see media content, you have to go through the painful process of forwarding individually to each person 😭

Or you can use a WhatsApp 'share' feature instead. 🙄

Suddenly WhatsApp doesn't recognize this 'new' media and you are back to your original limits.

Of course, I'm not encouraging you to spread propoganda and other malicious content, just highlighting a funny oversight.
