In view of this threat, Meta has introduced new anti-scam tools on its platforms. These tools will work on WhatsApp, Facebook and other meta products and will alert users about possible fraud.<\/p>\n<p>Meta says that the purpose of these tools is to warn users about scams in advance and protect them from fraud.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How will scam alert work on WhatsApp?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A big threat on WhatsApp is related to device linking. Many scammers try to link a user&#8217;s account to another device by using this feature.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Now WhatsApp in such cases:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul_block\">\n<li>Will show alert on suspicious device linking request<\/li>\n<li>Will give the user the option to accept or reject the linking.<\/li>\n<li>will warn about potential risks<\/li>\n<li>If the user accidentally allows linking, the scammer can read his messages and misuse many features. Therefore the new alert system will help in reducing this risk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>You will get warning even on suspicious messages<\/strong><br \/>Many scams on WhatsApp happen through messages sent from unknown numbers. In the new system, the platform will try to identify the pattern of such messages.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If the app suspects a message is a scam:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul_block\">\n<li>User will get scam alert notification<\/li>\n<li>Will be informed about possible fraud<\/li>\n<li>Users will be advised to be careful<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>New security feature will come on Facebook also<br \/>Meta is also bringing a similar feature on its social media platform Facebook. The platform can show an alert if a user receives a friend request from a suspicious account.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For this the system will check a few things:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul_block\">\n<li>Location of the requester<\/li>\n<li>He has mutual friends with you<\/li>\n<li>account activity<\/li>\n<li>If any account seems suspicious, a notification will be given to the user to be careful.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Encryption and Scam Challenge<br \/><\/strong>WhatsApp has end-to-end encryption, which protects the user&#8217;s privacy. But this feature sometimes makes it difficult to catch scammers.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, governments and regulatory agencies are demanding tech companies to adopt new measures to prevent online scams. Meta says that the new tools will help increase protection from scams while maintaining user privacy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 atawrap\">\n<h2 class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 atahead\">About the Author<\/h2>\n<div class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899\">\n<div style=\"min-height:52px;margin:0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/jpeg;base64,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\" alt=\"authoring\" title=\"authoring\" width=\"52\" height=\"52\" class=\"\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hindi.news18.com\/byline\/afreen-277.html\" class=\"jsx-5d5943d0494ab899 atamail\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Afreen Afaq<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Afreen Afaq has started her career with Network 18 as a Tech Journalist, and has more than six years experience in &#8216;Mobile-Technology&#8217; beat.
