WhatsApp made an important announcement regarding a feature that was announced for phones some time ago, it brings an important change that affects the way we communicate. More precisely, WhatsApp stated that it is continuing to expand the function that marks certain messages as being re-sent by a large number of people, these should be considered as propagandistic, false, unreliable messages.
WhatsApp has implemented, as you can see in the image below, a new method to mark these messages because they have been the source of many crimes until now. In India dozens of people have been killed because of fake messages distributed through WhatsApp, and to protect the naive who believe whatever is being distributed, the company has implemented a warning message that should help its users.
WhatsApp Announcement Looking at an IMPORTANT Feature on Phones
This new method of marking messages should be available in Romania as well, because the change is made at a global level, and has been constantly propagated for some time, but of course it is possible that it has not reached us. If you see for any message received from a person a mark that tells you that that message has been re-sent in WhatsApp many times, you must regard it as one that you cannot trust, because you can be tricked.
"We've recently introduced an update to our forwarded message label that helps people identify when they've received messages that were previously forwarded several times, such as a chain message."
Unfortunately, there are many people on the WhatsApp platform who want to harm us, which should not surprise anyone, because in general social networks are exploited in these ways. Having said that, regardless of when you see messages like the one above for any message received within WhatsApp, do not forward it, and definitely do not trust what is written there.
