WhatsApp tests link verification system


WhatsApp tests link verification system

WhatsApp is helping you verify links you receive. Android Police reports seeing a beta feature last month that allows you to verify links and URLs through a Google Search. The Meta messaging app seems to be rolling out to more beta testers and should be working on every URL online. When you long-press a link you receive in the app, there's an option saying: "Get link info on Google." That will take you to the Google app's search window showing relevant details about the selected URL.

A different version of this feature shows a "Search on web" option above frequently forwarded messages. It's unclear when WhatsApp will roll out this feature to all users. It is an important safety feature, so we hope it becomes widely available soon.
