# Message forwarding

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

## 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.

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](https://help.carbonvoice.app/messages/recording-and-sending/pre-recorded-messages) 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.

## Transparency alerts

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