as we know a lot of fake news circulating at the time of this corona epidemic so WhatsApp has brought a new feature named ‘search the web’ for its users. Through this feature, users will be able to check whether the forwarded message is real or fake.

And that fake message has a lot of wrong information. And that information can be very dangerous, WhatsApp has made this feature primarily to prevent the spread of fake news related to Coronavirus.

at this time there are many fake messages forwarded related to Corona. Like their medicines, their treatments, ways to avoid corona, all these things happen in those messages. That comes to us and we forward it without thinking.

In such a situation, with the help of this feature of WhatsApp, now users will be able to easily identify real and fake news, so let’s know about this feature in detail.

WhatsApp launched a new feature to prevent the spread of fake news.

Whatsapp is constantly trying to stop these fake messages from spreading on its platform.

WhatsApp first imposed the forwarding limit, then started labeling it, which means if a message is being forwarded repeatedly, it will be labeled with two arrow marks.

Now, by bringing this new feature, WhatsApp has again taken another step to stop fake news. So let me show you how this feature works.

Any message that has been forwarded many times on WhatsApp. With the help of its ‘Web search’ feature, you can find the truth of that forwarded message by using the magnifying glass added with that message.

For this, you have to tap on the magnifying glass. After that, your phone will redirect you to your default browser. Where you can see the correct information related to that message and find out Whether this message is fake or correct.

It may also contain articles that will show that the message is fake. This information has been found in the company’s blog post.

Let’s assume that you have a forward message. If a link has been given in that message, then on the right side of that link you will see a button with a search icon. When you click on it, your Google browser will open or your default browser will open and you will be able to get all the information related to that message.

So basically, you just have to do one click. So that you will know the truth of that news and you will know whether this forwarded message is fake or real.

This feature of WhatsApp has currently rolled out in Brazil, Italy, Mexico, Spain, UK, and USA.

At the moment, I do not know when it will be launched in India. But the company will soon launch this feature in India as well. This feature will work on all three versions of Android, ios, and web.
