Fake news: WhatsApp is not developing third blue tick to detect screenshots

Meta-owned WhatsApp, the world's most widely-used messaging platform, is not developing a third blue tick, according to a report.

WhatsApp news tracker WABetaInfo rejected claims that the company is developing any such feature.

“WhatsApp is NOT developing a third blue check to detect screenshots: it's fake news,” WABetaInfo said.
