Earlier this year, WhatsApp started testing a search button in beta that lets users quickly perform a Google Search to verify the legitimacy of forwarded messages. The messaging platform has now started rolling out the feature to all users in the stable version.
WhatsApp is currently rolling out ‘Search the web’ option in Brazil, Italy, Ireland, Mexico, Spain, the UK, and the US. It is available across Android, iOS, and WhatsApp Web. WhatsApp should be rolling it out to more regions in the coming months. It is worth noting that you will have to update your WhatsApp app to the latest version available on Play Store or App Store to start using the feature.
