What is l‘icon with the double arrow present on Whatsappbut which not everyone can still see?
Soon this symbol will be added in several places within one of the most famous messaging applications in the world, so it is necessary to understand its meaning and what changes for using WhatsApp.
Some users can already see this icon next to the content shared within a chat. So here’s what it means and, above all, what it’s for.
Double arrow icon on WhatsApp: what is it and what does it mean?
L’double arrow icon (where they appear two arrows pointing to the right) is used for forward the message quickly, without having to navigate other menus. Simply, when you click on the button you go directly to the screen where you can choose who or where you want to share it with.

This icon does not appear in all messages in chat, but only on the contents shared in them. So it is not present on normal text messages, nor next to emojis or emoticons.
The icon appears next to photos, links with preview, GIFs, locations, contacts and similar items. These are, in fact, the contents that tend to be shared the most, and this is why WhatsApp has created this option to speed up the process.
On the iPhone the button looks different, it doesn’t have the double arrow but only one, although it serves the same purpose.
Meanwhile, WhatsApp is experimenting with changing the position of this button, which in the beta version of the app could also appear positioned at the bottom next to the more famous blue ticks. The meaning and purpose is the same, but it takes up less space. However, it may be a long time before this further change arrives on all our smartphones.
