WhatsApp new features: With WhatsApp’s recently added ‘Search on web’ feature, users can quickly share photographs for Google reverse image searches right within the app.
According to reports, Meta is developing a new WhatsApp feature that will let users look up shared photos online. This technology will assist users in verifying the legitimacy of photographs they get on the site, making it simpler to ascertain whether any changes or misrepresentations have taken place, according to WABetaInfo. The most recent beta version of WhatsApp for Android is currently being used to test the feature, which is currently being made available to a small number of users.
A New Feature on WhatsApp: Image Web Search
With WhatsApp’s recently added ‘Search on web’ feature, users can quickly share photographs for Google reverse image searches right within the app. Similar to Google’s classic reverse image search, this functionality is more efficient because it does not require downloading and uploading photographs one at a time through a browser or app. Now, users may look up context instantly without ever leaving WhatsApp.
This feature, which aims to encourage transparency, gives users additional context for the photos they share during talks. They can confirm whether an image has been altered or removed from context by conducting a reverse image search, which adds another degree of security and confidence to the data being exchanged.
WhatsApp’s Image Web Search: Accessibility and How To Use
Currently, WhatsApp beta for Android (version 2.24.23.13), which is available to a select number of beta testers via the Google Play Store, has the “Search on web” capability. In the upcoming weeks, WhatsApp reportedly plans to make this capability more widely available. However, there is currently no official word on when WhatsApp users on iOS will be able to access it. This is how to utilize it:
Open the picture you got in your chat window.
In the upper right corner, click the three-dot button.
Select the ‘Search on the web’ menu item.
To start a Google reverse image search, click ‘Search’.
