Want to trust what you see? WhatsApp now lets you check the origin of an image by searching it on Google without ever leaving the app.
How to:
– Tap the image in chat.
– Tap the ⋯ menu and select ‘Search on web’ (or ‘Search image with Google’).
– The image is sent (with consent) to Google and results open in your browser.
What it’s for:
Helps prevent sharing misleading or manipulated images — perfect for vetting news, verifying content, and avoiding misinformation in work or group discussions.
Pro‑Tip: Use this on images sent in group chats or forwards before trusting or sharing them further.
