WhatsApp fights fake news with reverse image search: How to use new feature update

Fake news is a huge problem online, and misleading images spread like wildfire on social media. WhatsApp, with its massive global reach, is often a hotbed for this kind of misinformation. But there’s good news! WhatsApp Web is set to roll out a new weapon in the fight against fake news: reverse image search.

Soon, when you receive a suspicious image, you will be able to upload it directly to Google Image Search from WhatsApp Web. This will let you quickly see where else the image appears online and if it’s been used in a misleading context.
