WhatsApp has done good to a lot of people during the lockdown phase but the instant messaging application is also victim to massive spread of misinformation on the platform.
The company has taken various steps to minimise this danger. One such step is the introduction of a chatbot focused on the myth-busting information regarding coronavirus.
WhatsApp is partnering with Poynter Institute’s International Fact Checking Network (IFCN) to introduce a simple and effective tool within the application.
For now, the tool does not support any language but English. However, the company has claimed that they are working on introducing Hindi as an option too.
