WhatsApp introduces two important features in the latest beta update

WhatsApp is available for Android, iOS, and Windows Mobile OS

WhatsApp is one of the most used instant messaging services in India, as it offers a lot of features for free of cost. WhatsApp is also infamously known for sharing fake news. Now, to put a full stop to the fake messaging curb, the WhatsApp team under Facebook is developing two new features.

New Features

If a single message is forwarded more than five times, then the message will receive a badge similar to forward tag as "Frequently Forwarded," which makes sure that the message is already in circulation. The forwarding info feature will give you the idea (after you forward the message) on exactly how many people have forwarded the same message. To access this data, a user has to click on the "i" icon on the top of the chat window.

These features will be available for Android OS (Android WhatsApp version 2.19.80). These features will also be available on iOS devices in the coming days. As of now, the current beta version does not support these features, and WhatsApp is most likely to introduce these features in the next beta software update.

With these features, a user can check the authenticity of the message that they have received, which will help to determine if it is fake news or false positive news. Install the latest beta update from the Google Play Store to enjoy the latest features from WhatsApp.
