Is this image real? WhatsApp’s new feature will tell you

WhatsApp is testing a new image search feature in version 2.24.23.13 for Android beta users.

This feature allows users to perform a reverse image search using Google within the WhatsApp app.

WhatsApp, the go-to messaging app for billions around the globe, is taking a small step to combat the growing problem of misinformation with a helpful new feature. Recognizing that its platform can be a breeding ground for manipulated images and misleading content, WhatsApp is giving users the power to become amateur fact-checkers.

WaBetaInfo found this new feature in the latest test version (2.24.23.13) of the WhatsApp Android app, which enables users to run a quick web search on shared images without ever leaving the app.
