WhatsApp is testing a new feature that can detect suspicious links within messages.

The feature will add a red label - suspicious link - when it detects a character that seems out of place. The feature will work regardless of the language you use the app in.

This feature is designed to help WhatsApp’s 1 billion users identify fake news, hoaxes, and other false information that can spread via the messaging app.
