In these difficult days and separated from our families and the people we love, there is no choice but to use an application to get in touch with them

In this sense, I am talking about an application that is used all over the world, yes, you are right I am talking about the famous messaging platform called WhatsApp

About this situation by the famous virus that we all know, has captured all the TV, radio and internet media, as well as our own WhatsApp chats

And it is not uncommon to see how in some of our WhatsApp groups, messages appear as information that in principle we think is real, and spread in the same way as this virus that already affects the entire planet

WhatsApp is working on a new method to check for false news or hoaxes.

And how does this method work?

This method is not yet available, but it has already been released in the beta version of Whastsapp 2.20.94, has a function that is currently inactive and hidden within the application.

Since WABetaInfo, they have shared with us how it looks to know if that information is real or just a hoax, consists of a feature based on a new magnifying glass icon, with which we can do an Internet search of the content we have received.

If we use it we will be asked to authorize Google, and this is necessary to know evidence or similar content to know if such information is real or not

And I think that unfortunately, we will not be able to have this feature in time, because while they are being tested, all the messages about false news keep coming in without anyone being able to prevent it

WhatsApp, on the other hand, has introduced some features to avoid false message chains, warning users that these have been forwarded a large number of times, and limiting the number of contacts to which we can forward an image or message.
