Not enough!

Put the number of origin once it is forwarded so we can tell it's actual source.

Especially those news that most often than not implies these phrase "don't ignore, if you want to receive your miracle send to 50 people including me" gets me infuriated the more.

Since I've been using Whatsapp, I've never forward nor broadcast nonsense fake news, articles, tips, infact I've never send broadcast on WhatsApp before.

Too many nonsensical broadcast on WhatsApp.

This is a good development.

In my own opinion, I think WhatsApp should also include the originating phone number that started the broadcast, that way people can be traced to whatever content they broadcast.

This will make people think twice before broadcasting any content.
