Earlier this month, WhatsApp was reported to be testing a feature called 'Suspicious Link Detection'. which allows users to detect harmful links sent and received on WhatsApp. The purpose of the feature is to make the platform more secure. With the latest beta update of 2.18.221, WhatsApp now makes the new feature available to Android beta testers around the world. This means that the feature may soon be deployed in the main application.
According to WaBetaInfo, to test the feature, a user will need to update his WhatsApp for Android beta to version 2.18.221. For those who have already updated but do not see the feature, the site recommends that testers back up their chat history and reinstall WhatsApp. When you reinstall WhatsApp, the most up-to-date server configurations are downloaded. This will allow the functionality for the testers. The feature is not available for iOS from now on.
