Hello guys!
:) WhatsApp is working on a new feature where it will test the authenticity of shared webpages and links.
:) It limits the spam circulation over its platform.
:) recently, Indian government had adviced them to find ways to stop fake news broadcasting on this platform.
:)Name given to this testing is
"Suspicious Link Detection"
and it will help users to identify links having fake news on this platform.
:) Whenever user sends or receives a web link, this WhatsApp feature will automatically run in background and will check for malicious activity (like redirecting to unauthenticated sources) and when confirmed, it will put a tag notifying whether link is suspicious or not.
:) Not to worry about privacy issues because this feature is device_end technique, i.e. it will not transmit any data to servers.
:) This feature is on testing phase and you can participate to use this feature in beta version of WhatsApp from playstore.
