WhatsApp users can now fact-check COVID-19 messages

With hordes of fake messages doing the rounds, it becomes very difficult to judge. This has become more difficult in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, where the user is sometimes not aware that the forward is actually a fake news. To handle such cases, WhatsApp has collaborated with Poynter Institute's International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) so that users can check misinformations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
