Facebook Messenger is one of the most used messaging applications on the planet, and today it announced a very important change for users and its future in an increasingly crowded Internet. The Facebook company announced that it is launching a new system designed to eliminate fake accounts from its platform, so that a much stricter monitoring of private messages is to be done by those in Menlo Park starting from the next period.
Facebook Messenger is going to analyze more carefully the messages that people send to each other, and in this way it will try to discover which of the accounts used on the platform are real, or which are fake. Facebook Messenger has tested the new system at the moment by the company, and in the image below you can see that it is starting to reveal data regarding the account that contacted us to know if it is real or reliable.
More data for the safety of Facebook Messenger users
Facebook Messenger will tell users the country from which a platform account was created, along with the method used, including if that account differs from that of the same person, as we know it from the Facebook social network. The American company knows very well how big is the problem of fake news within its platform, so now it wants to find a method to keep people better informed about the people they come into contact with.
"Now, Facebook is testing a feature that provides additional information about direct messages from unknown contacts, including whether an account was recently created and what sort of phone number it used to log in."
Facebook Messenger does not really have a choice regarding the implementation of these changes for users, and this is because it is in the attention of many authorities who are not satisfied with the level of security at the moment. Despite this, Facebook Messenger is changing, it will offer more security, but not now, but only after the feature testing is tested well enough to be released publicly.
