How will Oman welcome WhatsApp new updated version with limiting message forwarding for 5 times?
Now you will no longer be able to forward WhatsApp messages to more than 5 times. Announcement from WhatsApp on Monday 21st January 2019 said it was restricting worldwide how many times any given message can be forwarded from 20 to 5.
Spreading of Mendacious campaigns and fake stories on WhatsApp has become a big problem around the world. Unlike other social media channels like Twitter and Facebook, WhatsApp messages are private and encrypted. Hence it’s very difficult to track the origin of the message.
WhatsApp spokesman said, “We’ll continue to listen to user feedback about their experience, and over time, look for new ways of addressing viral content.”
Countries like Oman with a fewer number of social problems may be affected by this release negatively as friends and groups are restricted to forward their messages. WhatsApp is already playing a major role in the communication system in Oman, not only among friends but within companies. Due to it’s fast and convenience many companies in Oman are using WhatsApp as a communication method. So we will have to wait and see how the local market will adapt to this new version.
The company will release an update with forwarding limit, first to Android devices and then to IOS devices accordingly. Oman is expected the new release in near future.
We Launched a New Website and Social Media
You deserve the freedom to do what you need to do for yourself, your family or for clients. At Mirros Oman, our website and how we communicate with you is a big part of that goal.
To kick off 2017, we took a first step to making our website easier to use. We want you to get the phone number, email or information you need quickly and easily. Here are some of the steps we took:
- We reorganized and re-wrote the majority of pages on the Mirros Oman part of the website - most notably the home page.
- We made contact information easier to find.
- We focused on the services you need, not on the divisional structures within our organization.
We also launched a blog (what you’re reading now), Facebook, Twitter, a YouTube channel and a new way for you to get email updates from us.
We know people spend a lot more time in email or on social media than they spend on our site. So, it makes sense that we deliver information to you where you spend most of your online time.
Most of all, we aim to serve and support you. We aim to be open with you. We will be consistent, while experimenting. We’ll be here to take your feedback. Please let us know what you think.
