Extended Media Forwards
**TL;DR:** an [exteraGram](https://exteragram.app) plugin that adds a Forward button to
photos and videos opened from telegra.ph articles and rich messages.
## Description
Media inside an Instant View article can't be forwarded, and media inside a rich message
can only be forwarded together with the whole message. Extended Media Forwards adds a
Forward action to the media viewer for both: it downloads the photo or video and sends it
again from your account, with a link back to its source when there is one.
## Features
- **Forward from telegra.ph.** Works on media opened from telegra.ph and graph.org pages,
single items and carousels alike.
- **Forward from rich messages.** Single media and carousels inside rich (article) messages
(on by default, can be turned off).
- **Any Instant View article.** Optional switch to allow the button on every Instant View
page, not only telegra.ph (off by default).
- **The usual share sheet.** Pick chats in the app's own "Forward to" sheet, including a
topic in forums, and add a comment.
- **Source link.** The sent media carries a link back to the page or message it came from.
