New security feature from WhatsApp: Verify connections
With the Get link information feature on Google, which is in the testing phase, users will be able to get information about the legitimacy of the link before clicking on suspicious links, reducing the risk of potential fraud or malware. Thanks to the Search on Google option in the menu that opens by long-pressing a link in chats, users will be able to quickly investigate the reliability of the link.
WhatsApp also takes care of user privacy when using this feature. Users can only search the link they choose on Google, and WhatsApp does not see which links are searched. In this way, users’ privacy is also protected.
