WhatsApp is experimenting with more tools to help fight the spread of fake news. A new beta for Android labels messages you send as "frequently forwarded" if they've been shared 5 or more times. You can even see the exact forwarding count by diving into the Message Info section. It's limited to messages you send, but it could give you second thoughts about sharing a sensationalist piece more than once.
