Popular messaging application WhatsApp is introducing a new feature, caring about user security more than ever. With the new feature in the testing phase, both Android and iOS users will now be able to check the reliability of the links shared in chats directly from the application.

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.

As seen in the screenshot above, this feature is of great importance in environments where links containing fraud and malware are shared, which are frequently on the agenda today. Because with this feature, you will be able to test the reliability of the connection by searching on Google.

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.
