WhatsApp Starts Testing ‘Suspicious Link Detection’ Feature To Fight Spam

WhatsApp for Android gets a new Beta version on 2.18.206. This update indicates a very necessary feature. Suspicious Link Detection. This feature should restrict spam links.

This feature will help users detect suspicious links that they sent or received to WhatsApp. The app analyzes the link when you receive it and detects if redirection is made to a fake or alternative site. If the link is considered suspicious, it will show a message that has a red label. Regardless of the warning message, if you try to open the link, WhatsApp will again warn you that you are trying to open a possible suspicious link.

As noted above, Vulnerability Detection is not available even if WhatsApp has edited this feature in beta version 2.18.204 by adding new improvements to the next updates.
