WhatsApp Beta 2242219: Enhanced Link Verification for Added Security
Tired of clicking on suspicious links and wondering if they’re safe? WhatsApp’s latest beta update has you covered! The new “Get link info on Google” feature allows you to quickly verify the authenticity of any link shared in your chats, directly from within the app.
How does it work?
Tap and Hold: Simply tap and hold on any link you want to check.
Select “Get link info on Google”: A bottom sheet will appear, giving you the option to search for the link on Google.
Instant Verification: Google will provide relevant information about the link, helping you determine if it’s safe to click.
Why is this important?
In the age of misinformation and online scams, having a tool like this at your fingertips is crucial. With the ability to quickly verify links, you can protect yourself from phishing attempts, malware, and other online threats.
Who can access this feature?
The “Get link info on Google” feature is currently being rolled out to beta testers who have installed the latest WhatsApp beta for Android (version 2.24.22.19) from the Google Play Store. If you’re not a beta tester, you’ll have to wait a bit longer for this feature to become available to the general public.
