Whatsapp has been the cause of death of people in India for some time now. This is why it is difficult to stop Fake News in India in front of Whatsapp. This led to the introduction of the Forwarded feature in the app. All of you will know that due to the rumors spreading just on Whatsapp, a man lost his life in Bangalore. This happened when people complained to him as a thief and beat him up.

Now the questions will start to arise in your mind. The first question will be how to identify such fake messages?
- The first step you can take is to say that you do not accept it when you get a message similar to your ideology. For example, if you like anyone party and there is a message in favor of someone who is telling something about a member of the opposition party, do not believe him immediately. Please check the truth before any of the messages I have at least before it.
- However, Whatsapp Forwarded brings the feature. Yet people accept forwarded message of family or friends to the truth. It is not that they also know the truth of a message. In the trap of Fake News, your closest ones can also be trapped. So, the message is coming from any source and do not accept it right.
- There is a great way to avoid incoming news on Whatsapp, if there is an agenda of every news or message that is worth getting viral or there is an agenda behind it, then doubt all such messages.
If you suspect a message, then check the news. If you can not reach the right news, at least avoid sharing it. In this way, you will be able to stop the spread of the news.
In this way not only can you save yourself from being a victim of such a fake message, but also help others in this matter.
