Oppo: Forward a Message to Another Chat

Retyping a text just to send it to someone else wastes time, especially when the message contains links or details you cannot easily reproduce. Oppo phones let you forward an SMS straight from the conversation, and you can also send it to a different app instead of another contact.

Forward a Message on Oppo auf Oppo

Forwarding a message on an Oppo phone works from inside the Messages app, without copying or retyping any text. This is useful when you need to pass on an appointment, a code, or a link that arrived in one conversation to a different contact or chat.

The function sits behind a long-press gesture rather than a visible button, which is why many users overlook it. Open Tap on MessagesChoose a Conversation, then Tap and hold a Message until a selection menu appears. From there, Open the Menu and Tap on Forward.

At this point you choose the destination: pick Choose a Conversation to send it to an existing chat, or tap New message to start a fresh conversation with a contact who has not messaged you before. The same forward option also lets you route the message into another installed app, so it is not limited to SMS-to-SMS transfers.

If the long-press menu does not show a Forward entry, the conversation might contain only media without selectable text, or the Messages app needs an update. Group messages and multimedia messages can behave slightly differently, since some carriers restrict forwarding of certain MMS content.

Frequently asked questions

After tapping Forward, you typically pick one conversation or contact per action. To send the same message to several people, repeat the Forward step and choose a different Conversation or New message target each time.
