The spread of fake news in WhatsApp regarding Covid-19 is creating unnecessary tension among people. To curb and stop the chain of fake news, WhatsApp is testing a new update which will allow the users to search and check the authenticity, reality and source of the forwarded messages on Web. The search feature has been in trial for a long time, and the company might launch the update soon as it will regulate and filter the wrong news and give importance to real and credible information. However, no official launch has been declared by WhatsApp till date.
