Meta is working on a new WhatsApp feature for fact check

Whatsapp, a Meta-owned instant messaging app is working on a new feature through which you can do a fact check. Now, you don't have to browse through different other sites for fact check. However, you'll only be able to do a fact-check of pictures. 

WhatsApp has started testing a feature with the help of which users can get information about an image quickly that they have received from any other user. This feature would allow users to reverse-lookup an image with just a few taps, which means you will be able to know the reality of a photo by using reverse image technology.

Presently, the feature has been rolled out for beta testers. It will help you to find manipulated media files on WhatsApp with the help of this feature. This feature can be seen on WhatsApp's new beta version 2.24.23.13.
