WhatsApp has recently launched a new feature aimed at enabling individuals to confirm images sent in chats. It also now introduces the ability to search for images on Google within the actual application in the Android beta version 2.24.21.31. It is easier to cross-check images using this new search function, the images go viral with bad information.

This feature is straightforward, open a chat, tap on a picture, and click on the three-dot menu then tap on ‘Search on web’. This enables easy search for similar images on the internet. WhatsApp also sends a notification which says the image will be uploaded to Google for search purposes.

WhatsApp New Feature

First of all, this feature is very helpful in the modern world when hoax news more often conveys information through pictures. They can now verify the validity of images making it easier for them to avoid fake information. This tool could therefore be useful in preventing the dissemination of fake news, especially in this era of the world.

While the innovation is present in the beta edition, it may well revolutionize how millions of people utilize WhatsApp. It can be useful for checking the facts instantly and on the spot. Since the variety of news is gaining increased significance, this tool affords users first-degree utility.

If the company is interested in growing it, which we think should be the case, then expect the feature to be extended to more people in WhatsApp soon. For now, users can use it in the testing mode to improve the protection of chattened messages. This feature can be best related to efforts by WhatsApp to expand, refine, and upgrade the services it offers through fighting fake news.
