Facebook previously launched a message-forwarding limit feature on WhatsApp, and now, the company is introducing it to its Messenger platform too.

The company announced the new limits on Messenger, detailing that users will only able to forward a message to five people at one go.

There will be a popup notification stating, “Forwarding limit reached,” if the user attempts to send content to more than five recipients at one time.
