When is it necessary to forward information to another person?
The desire to forward a VKontakte message to someone else arises for several reasons:
- You want to convey information accurately, but you don't want to rewrite it.
- It is important to convey the other person's words word for word.
- SMS contains videos, pictures or music - it’s easier to forward than to download again.
- If you can't create a group chat and share information with everyone at once.
- You are a woman, and you share information with a million of your friends about “what an asshole he is” (joke).
Forwarding messages is often used in conversations to find information lost in correspondence. It’s convenient to duplicate and send again in a couple of clicks.
Difficulties in implementation
When copying messages, users are not always able to ensure that the entire message is highlighted. Accordingly, then you have to send additional parts. However, this wastes additional time and creates additional confusion. Developers of large social networks provide the function of forwarding messages to other users. However, such an opportunity is very difficult to find in the interface. Therefore, users have a question about how to forward a message to VK. We will try to solve it in the next section of the material.
How to forward a message to another person on VK?
You can send SMS through a computer or an application on a gadget or iPhone. The instructions are quite simple.
For PC:
- Go to the "Messages" section on your page.
- Go to the desired dialogue with the SMS you want to send.
- Click on them, select as many as necessary so that they turn blue.
- Click on the “Forward” button at the top.
- Next, a window will open with people with whom there is a dialogue; If the person you need is not there, click on the magnifying glass at the top and find him.
- To submit, click on the arrow on the side.
- Then the name and avatar of the person whose letters you forwarded will be highlighted in the sent message.
Remember that messages can only be forwarded to one person or group in a chat at a time. To send selectively to multiple users, you first need to create a conversation. This is relevant if you are sending content for the first time.
To send SMS through an application on your phone or tablet, you should follow approximately the same steps:
- Go to the application and message section.
- Go to the desired dialogue and hold your finger on an empty space next to the message, so you will highlight the message you want to send. Then select “Forward.”
- Next, select the recipient's dialog.
- Finally, click on the arrow below to submit.
How to take a screenshot of a conversation and send it
Sometimes it is not enough to convey one or several messages; an image of dialogue is required. Typically, such photos are needed to be included in court cases as evidence. In this case, the mobile phone must be photographed by the notary, as well as witnesses.
How to take a screenshot of a conversation and send it to another person:
- Open the chat.
- Press the key combination to get a screenshot, it depends on the device model (you can read more here).

How to forward a message received on Viber? To do this, use the mobile or computer version, select the desired SMS, tag the recipient and send the message. If you need to take a screenshot, use the built-in option on your mobile device or PC.
How to find forwarded messages on VK?
If your correspondence history is long and active, then sometimes it is difficult to find the necessary information. It’s easy to identify forwarded messages - they have a blue stripe on the side, and the name with the avatar of the person whose SMS you forwarded is displayed. For the computer version of VK, you can search by keywords (sentences), but then you need to remember exactly a couple of phrases (and who remembers that?). But the search is not carried out by the date of sending or through a separate dialog, only through a general search in messages. You can also find attached documents, videos and pictures that are displayed in the “Attachments” tab. You can find it in a dialogue with the person above. Under the name there is an arrow, where the tab is located. There, the sound of notifications for dialogue is turned off, and correspondence is deleted.
Instructions
Let's move directly to the question of how to send forwarded messages to VK. Surely you have a question whether it is possible to use the message forwarding function in this project, as well as how this is done. Now we will show with an example how to correctly perform the necessary actions in VK.
Currently, this social network has very high popularity among users from all over the world. The project has a large number of diverse functions, while the developers do not sit still and regularly add new features.
So, we present an algorithm that will help you understand how to forward a message to VK.
1. To begin, you should select and highlight the desired message. In order to quickly achieve results, you need to right-click on the message.
2. A check mark will appear next to the message, and at the top you will be able to see suggested actions. There you can also select the message forwarding function. Click on it (it is located in the far right corner), then select the desired user from your friends list, click “Submit”.
Problems when you want to view a message while keeping the status “unread”
Previously, a function was available for VKontakte when you read messages and do not respond, saving them under the “unread” status. For this we used kate mobile, which also hid the online status. For the computer version, “unread messages” are not possible. Now users have a problem - the kate mobile application no longer works, and the official version does not have this function, so leaving SMS unread when viewing is impossible. By the way, Viber and Telegram have the function of leaving SMS unread when viewing; this can be configured separately.
If SMS are not forwarded, then you are sending them to a deleted, closed account or someone who has forbidden them to do this for you. When you try to send a message, the following warning will be displayed:
Solving the problem is as impossible as sending deleted information.
Reply function
The principle is the same here. You select the messages you need and click on the “Reply” button.
Messages will be pinned in the same conversation. Add the required text and send the message.

WhatsApp tightens message forwarding rules to combat fake messages
Forwarding messages often brings benefits: in particular, this is how people organize campaigns to help medical workers who are fighting COVID-19. “However, we have noticed that the number of cases of forwarding messages has increased significantly. Many users are concerned about this fact, as it may contribute to the spread of misinformation. We believe that the spread of such messages needs to be slowed down so that WhatsApp continues to remain a service for personal communication,” the WhatsApp administration noted.
On March 26, the Investigative Committee of Russia announced that it had created a working group to prevent the spread of fakes on the Internet about the situation with coronavirus infection in Russia. The working group must identify cases of dissemination, including on the Internet and instant messengers, of deliberately false and unverified information about the number of cases in Russia, as well as other unreliable information that provokes panic. The department promised that it would provide a criminal legal assessment of such facts.

Roskomnadzor warned the media and Internet resources about responsibility for disseminating false data about the spread of infection. The service reported that similar cases of dissemination of false data, “spreading panic and provoking public concern” among citizens, have been identified in Russia.
On April 6, the Prosecutor General’s Office announced that it had discovered facts of dissemination of false information about the situation with coronavirus in five regions of Russia. The department studied materials from the prosecutor's offices of St. Petersburg, Chuvashia, Tatarstan, Kursk region and Perm region. False information was distributed on the social networks VKontakte, Facebook and Instagram. Thus, in St. Petersburg, an article entitled “Methods of combating coronavirus at the FSB Institute” was revealed. It said that 70% of the cadets at the FSB Institute in the city became infected. According to the hospital. S.P. Botkin, there were no patients with coronavirus at the institute at that time.
In St. Petersburg, on April 3, the first criminal case was opened for fake information about the coronavirus. It was about a publication on VKontakte, which alleged infection with the virus in one of the clinics in the Kurortny district of St. Petersburg.
