Can I forward messages to contacts who are not active on WhatsApp?

No, it is not possible to forward messages to contacts who are not currently active on WhatsApp. Here are the reasons why:

1. **Message Delivery**: WhatsApp forwards messages directly through its servers to active users who are currently connected and using the platform. If a contact is not active (i.e., not logged in or their device is offline), WhatsApp cannot deliver messages to them.

2. **Offline Contacts**: When a contact is not active on WhatsApp (offline), their device does not receive messages until they reconnect. Forwarding a message requires the recipient to be online and active to receive it.

3. **Privacy and Security**: WhatsApp ensures that messages are delivered securely and only to the intended recipients who are actively using the platform. This helps maintain user privacy and prevents unauthorized access to messages.

If you want to share information with contacts who are not active on WhatsApp, you would need to use alternative means of communication such as email, SMS, or another messaging platform where they are active. Each platform has its own rules and mechanisms for message delivery and user engagement.
