WhatsApp may soon allow users to search shared images on the web

WhatsApp is testing a new feature with its latest beta update that allows users to perform a reverse image search on Google for any image they receive. This feature, currently available in the beta version, aims to help users verify the authenticity and origin of images shared on the platform. Google’s reverse image search functionality has been available for some time, enabling users to search the web for visually similar images. This can be helpful in determining if an image is original or has been previously shared online. By integrating this capability into WhatsApp, users can now easily check the source and context of images they receive, potentially combating misinformation and enhancing the overall security of the platform.
