New Delhi, September 29: WhatsApp, the Meta-owned platform, is reportedly rolling out a new feature to enhance user safety and making it easier to search for links in its latest beta update. The WhatsApp new feature update will allow users to search links shared in chats more efficiently to improve navigation and usability within the app. Additionally, WhatsApp is also focusing on user safety by enhancing security measures for a safer messaging experience for its vast user base.

As per a report of Financial Express, WhatsApp’s latest beta update introduces several key improvements, focusing on link searching and user safety. In an earlier update, version 2.23.16.6, WhatsApp added new safety features to help protect users when they get messages from unknown numbers. These tools were created to enhance security and keep users safe from unwanted or suspicious contacts. WhatsApp New Feature Update: Instant Messaging Platform Introduces Photo Editing Features and Real-Time Voice Interaction With Meta AI; Check Details.

WhatsApp is now introducing an update in its latest Android beta version, 2.24.20.28. The update mainly focuses on boosting user security and refining how users handle interactions with contacts they may not know. The goal is to provide a safer experience to manage conversations with unfamiliar contacts. WhatsApp has reportedly made its link search feature easier to use.

As per reports, when users search for more details about a link, only the message with that link is sent to Google for searching, keeping the rest of the message private. WhatsApp itself does not get access to the message content. Additionally, users can either search for information about the link or search for details based on the text in the message. WhatsApp New Update: Meta-Owned Messaging Platform Working on New Feature To Let Users Block Messages From Unknown Accounts.

The new beta update has introduced a feature that will let users search links directly on the internet. It means if someone gets a message with a link that claims to lead to a well-known website, WhatsApp users can use this tool to check if the link is genuine. The feature can be useful since many people often receive forwarded messages, which might include false or misleading information. Users can avoid falling for fake news or harmful content to make their online experience safer by verifying the link.
