The feature is now widely available across Android and iOS devices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"new_font\">The WhatsApp update addresses a long-standing issue where new members joining a group were unable to view earlier conversations, often missing context and references. With the new functionality, group admins can now share a selected number of previous messages, allowing new participants to better understand ongoing discussions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"new_font\">Previously, users added to a group could only access messages sent after they joined, limiting their ability to engage fully in conversations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"new_font\"><strong>How to send WhatsApp message history in a group on Android<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"new_font\">Open WhatsApp and enter the group chat where you want to enable message history<br \/>\nTap on the group name at the top of the screen<br \/>\nAlternatively, long-press the group chat from the home screen<br \/>\nTap on More options, then select Group info<br \/>\nAdd a new member by searching for a name or phone number<br \/>\nTap on Message History<br \/>\nSelect the number of recent messages you want to share<br \/>\nTap on Add members, then select Continue<\/p>\n<p class=\"new_font\"><strong>How to send WhatsApp message history in a group on iOS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"new_font\">Open WhatsApp<br \/>\nTap and hold or enter the group chat, then tap on the group name<br \/>\nTap on the Add button<br \/>\nSearch for or select contacts or phone numbers to add<br \/>\nTap on Message History and choose how many messages to share<br \/>\nTap Done to confirm<br \/>\nTap Add members, then select Continue<br \/>\nHow to toggle message history on Android and iOS<br \/>\nTap on the group name<br \/>\nSelect Group permissions<br \/>\nTurn the Send message history option on or off<\/p>\n<p class=\"new_font\">The feature reflects WhatsApp\u2019s continued focus on improving group communication, making it easier for users to stay informed and participate meaningfully in conversations regardless of when they join.<\/p>\n<p>Follow Storyboard18 on Google for the latest and breaking digital news and industry updates, along with in-depth coverage of digital media&#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.storyboard18.com\/digital\/how-to-send-whatsapp-message-history-in-groups-on-android-and-ios-ws-l-97011.htm\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to send WhatsApp message history in groups on Android and iOS https:\/\/www.storyboard18.com\/digital\/how-to-send-whatsapp-message-history-in-groups-on-android-and-ios-ws-l-97011.htm Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":238248,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/images.storyboard18.com\/storyboard18\/2025\/12\/CXO-12-2025-12-06c299a55839e8bd7c7bcf6c2a82bc98-1019x573.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[70],"class_list":["post-238247","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-android","tag-google"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238247"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=238247"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238247\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":238249,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238247\/revisions\/238249"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/238248"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=238247"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=238247"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=238247"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
