Are you a WhatsApp Group member? BEWARE of THESE privacy features
WhatsApp Group
WhatsApp Groups are online spaces for communities, families, companies, schools, and more. The extent and size of the groups are tremendously expanding. The addition of WhatsApp Communities has considerably increased our reach. Along with the growing acceptance, the group can also cause problems for users who are concerned about their privacy. WhatsApp includes a few options that enable you to take full advantage of the platform without compromising on safety and privacy in order to minimise the impact on privacy. Scroll ahead to find out the features WhatsApp offers for you.
Block and Report feature
If users come across questionable communications in individual or group chats, WhatsApp gives users the opportunity to block accounts and report them directly to WhatsApp. If users want to share reported messages with fact-checkers or law enforcement personnel, they can decide to keep them on their phones using the instant messaging programme.

Fact checking Feature
Ten independent fact-checking groups that operate in India are available on WhatsApp to assist users in identifying, reviewing, and validating information as well as assisting in the effort to stop the spread of false information. Additionally, WhatsApp gives users the option to text the IFCN WhatsApp chatbot developed by The Poynter Institute to confirm a message or piece of information.
