Often receive chain messages whose truth is in doubt through WhatsApp instant messaging app? Such spam messages can be annoying, especially if the contents turn out to be fake hoax alias information.
To restrict the circulation of chain messages like this, WhatsApp is reportedly testing a new feature. The form of a warning to notify the user when a message has been "forwarded many times".
Warning will be displayed for the sender and recipient of the relevant message, as summarized KompasTekno from The Next Web, Thursday (18/1/2018).
WhatsApp does not label the true or absence of information contained in messages, or block its spread.
However, by telling you about the chain shift, at least the user can watch and be more careful before forwarding it to others.
It is not known how large the scale of WhatsApp testing does this spam warning feature. Not yet clear whether the feature will be actually applied in the application WhatsApp or not.
The actual chain messaging is a long-standing problem. It used to be a letter, then turned into a digital text in the modern era. Lately, the spread of spam that often contain hoaks increasingly rampant in line with the rampant use of social media and instant messaging applications.
