Message forwarding

Forwarding lets you share information across conversations, so an idea from one discussion can reach another.

📺 Watch: message forwarding

Forwarding a message

When you forward a message, recipients can read or listen to it even if they weren't in the original conversation. If they do have access to that conversation, a link back is shown so they can jump to the original message and see its context.

Forward message

  1. Press and hold on the message you want to forward.
  2. Select Forward.
  3. Choose the conversation to forward it to.

Sending it as a new message instead

You can also send one of your own messages somewhere else as a brand new message, without saving it as a saved voice memo first. When forwarding your own message, choose Use my audio as new message instead. It's sent with the original audio and text, but without a link back to where it was first sent.

A saved voice memo is still the better choice for something you send often.

Carbon Voice notifies the owner of a message whenever it is forwarded, so you always know how your messages are being shared.
