The message, that has been circulated across many WhatsApp groups and is tagged with ‘forwarded many times’ label, falsely claims that WhatsApp is bringing new communication rules for messages and calls that will connect devices to the government. It also mentions that the new system will allow the law enforcement authorities to take action against people posting messages and videos against the government.
All the claims specified in the message are false as WhatsApp has not announced any updates to its system. The existing methodology to show ticks or check marks for read receipts also remains the same as before. This means that you’ll only see grey and blue ticks, depending on the status of message delivery and your WhatsApp settings.
