These features have been specially designed keeping senior citizens in mind. Let us tell you that for some time now, cases of online scams have increased rapidly and scammers are targeting senior citizens more.
This feature came for WhatsApp
Now on WhatsApp, if a user shares the screen with an unknown caller during a video call, he will see an alert. In cases like digital arrest etc., scammers target people only through video calls. In such a situation, this can be a useful feature. Talking about Messenger, the company is creating an AI powered scam detection tool for chats.
