Accessing WhatsApp Web Interface

Convenience beckons as you switch to WhatsApp Web, allowing you to access your chats on a larger screen.

You're no longer limited to your mobile device, and you can finally enjoy the comfort of typing on a keyboard. To get started, open a web browser on your computer and navigate to web.whatsapp.com.

You'll see a QR code on the screen, which you'll need to scan using the WhatsApp app on your phone. Open WhatsApp on your phone, go to the Chats tab, and tap the three vertical dots in the top right corner.

Select "WhatsApp Web" and point your camera at the QR code on your computer screen. Once you've scanned the code, you'll be logged in to WhatsApp Web, and your chats will sync seamlessly between your phone and computer.

You can now access all your conversations, including group chats, and even send files and media from your computer.

Selecting the Message to Forward

You've got your WhatsApp Web interface up and running, and now you're ready to forward a message.

The first step is to select the message you want to forward. To do this, navigate to the chat containing the message you want to forward.

Scroll through the conversation until you find the message you're looking for. You can use the search function if you're having trouble finding it.

Once you've located the message, take a moment to review its content to ensure it's the correct one.

Make sure you're in the correct chat and that the message is from the correct sender.

You can't forward a message that you've sent yourself, so double-check the sender's name. Take your time to verify the message's content and sender before moving forward.

This will save you from accidentally forwarding the wrong message. With the correct message selected, you're now ready to move on to the next step.

Opening the Message Context Menu

As you've verified the message's content and sender, it's time to access the message context menu.

To do this, hover your mouse over the message you want to forward. You'll see a dropdown arrow appearing on the right side of the message. Click on this arrow to open the message context menu.

The context menu will display several options, including 'Reply', 'Forward', 'Info', and 'Delete'.

You might see additional options depending on the type of message you've selected. For instance, if you've selected an image or video, you'll also see 'Download' and 'View once' options.

Take a moment to review the options in the context menu.

Make sure you're selecting the correct message and that you're prepared to forward it. Remember that once you forward a message, it'll be sent to the recipient you choose, so double-check the content and sender to avoid any misunderstandings.

Choosing the Forward Option

Most messages require forwarding, and this option is readily available in the context menu.

Once you've opened the context menu, you'll see several options, including "Forward message". This option is usually located near the top of the list, making it easily accessible.

To choose the "Forward message" option, simply click on it with your cursor.

As soon as you do, a new window will pop up, allowing you to select the conversation or individual you want to forward the message to.

Make sure to click on the correct option, as WhatsApp Web also offers other forwarding options, such as "Forward file" or "Forward message with quote".

If you're looking to forward the entire message, including any media attachments, select "Forward message".

Selecting Recipients and Sending

After selecting the "Forward message" option, you're presented with a new window to choose the recipients for your forwarded message.

You can select contacts from your WhatsApp contact list or enter new numbers. To select a contact, simply click on their name, and they'll be added to the recipient list.

You can choose multiple recipients by repeating this process.

If you want to send the message to a new number, type it in the "Search or add contacts" field and press Enter. WhatsApp will automatically add the number to the recipient list.

Make sure to separate multiple numbers with commas.

Once you've selected all the recipients, you can add an optional caption to the forwarded message.

Type your caption in the text field provided, and it'll be sent along with the original message.

Conclusion

You've successfully forwarded a message on WhatsApp Web! You accessed the web interface, selected the message to forward, opened the context menu, chose the forward option, and selected the recipients. Your forwarded message is now on its way to its new destination, complete with an optional caption.
