WhatsApp is responsible for constantly updating its application to ensure a better user experience for users. Many times functions are added without prior notice and this generates uncertainty in people who see changes on their cell phone and don’t know where they come from.
Within the Meta instant messaging app there are different symbols that represent actions and in the last days an icon appeared which aroused the curiosity of many. Is about two arrows next to the messages within a chat, which seems to be everywhere, this is because it has a function related to sending messages, although in reality it is only present in some elements.
This new icon allows you to avoid having to navigate through the context menu.

What is the double arrow that appeared on WhatsApp
This circled two arrows icon does not appear next to normal written messages, but rather next to files, links and audios that we send in an individual chat, or in a group.
This is a shortcut that allows you to forward some items much more quickly. This way, if a sticker, photo, link, file or contact was sent, the icon with the two arrows will appear, and by pressing it you can quickly resend this element to another chat.
Recording a WhatsApp video call can be useful for a variety of reasons, whether it’s to preserve a special moment

It was designed to simplify the process of resending any type of file received to another contact. But we must keep in mind that the icon will appear both in the messages we send and in many of the ones we receive, as long as it is downloaded to the cell phone, therefore you cannot resend a photo that was received but not downloaded. .
Finally A submitted item may not have the double arrow button next to it but rather a magnifying glass, This is because this message has been “Forwarded many times”, as indicated by the same and The magnifying glass allows you to search the text of the message on Google.
