Many Mandi Messages Were Forwards

WhatsApp indicates whether a message to a group was forwarded. A “forward score” of 0 means that the sender didn’t use the forwarding feature. A score of 2 means it was forwarded twice: once to reach the sender, and then again by the sender.

WhatsApp's scores include only forwards shared using the platform's forwarding feature. It does not account for manual forwarding, where a user copies text or media and pastes it into a new message.
