Tdesktop: Forward message to multiple people

Created on 30 Mar 2016 · 14Comments · Source: telegramdesktop/tdesktop

Hi. Imagine it's new year. You wanna say happy new year to 20 (or more) of your contacts. So it would be good to send (or forward) a message to many (or all) of your contacts.

You mean Broadcast's?

Yeah‌, but not like channels. Like you press forward and then select multiple contacts and then send to them. No need to make a channel only for that one time and then make another channel for some other people...

May rename this issue to "Quick Share Button"?

I like the idea, sometimes i wanna share one link to multiple groups/individuals and this feature will ease this :)

Yeah, this is a must. Because many times I want to share an item with many contacts.

In 1.2 the forwarding interface was redesigned, but sadly no multi-forwarding yet :(
P.s. It's done in android version...

Saving the recipients for future use (like broadcast) by username or chat_id

i was thinking, can't we have a drag and drop like thing for forward messages like when we select multiple photos or files on the lists?

Using telethon

@Aokromes, drag and drop works perfectly for a long time in desktop version, but the topic is about selecting some messages, and selecting some contacts/chats to forward them to.

Your humble has to switch from desktop client to the mobile one when he needs to send something to 4+ contacts...

This is something that we really need. What about a dedicated option to also create a special "forwarding group"? I mean, if i need to forward a message to always the same group of people/groups, i can save them in a "forwarding group" so when i need to forward something i can select this group instead. What do you think about it?
