These days WhatsApp is a source of news, media, and
other information services but with the other social media platforms, people
also emerged as a spread of fake messages and misinformation. Now meanwhile,
one such WhatsApp message is going viral these days. It is being told through
these messages that WhatsApp has added a new feature on its platform. Actually,
the message that is going viral says that if the message you forward is showing
a third tick with two blue ticks, then it means that the government has read
your message.
What’s in the viral message?
Let me tell you, a new red tick has been mentioned in this message. The message
about this red tick has been told that if the third tick in the message you
sent is red then the message is objectionable. This will enable the police to
arrest you soon. At the same time, all three are blue in the message, so it
means that your message is correct.
Regarding
to this message:
- If there would be 3 Blue ticks it means that the government is reading your message.
- 2 Blue and 1 Red tick indicates that the Government can take action against you.
- 1 Blue and 2 Red tick means Government is screening your data.
- 3 Red tick indicates that the Government has taken action against sender and he will receive summon through court soon.
Let us know what is the truth of this message?
If you have received a similar message on your
WhatsApp account, then you should not be worried, because no such feature has
neither come nor is likely to come in WhatsApp. Let us tell you, the company
says that every user's chat, photo, video, voice message on the app can be
stored on the user's own device. Also it may not be available on any other
server.
What PIB said..!!
This message and information have been declined by
the Press Information Bureau (PIB) on twitter. PIB is a government agency which
provides information to the media. They told that there is nothing like this
the government has not found anything like this. PIB tweets on their twitter
handle that the viral message which gives the information about the Tick Mark
is totally fake and suggests us to stay away from this message.
Other Feature
You must have noticed that whenever one of your
messages is not delivered on WhatsApp immediately, you can send it even after a
day or two. Rather, whenever you send that message after a long time like a
month or two, it is not delivered. This happens because on the company's server
it is saved in encrypted mode for 30 days, after which it is deleted from the
server. Let me tell you, since the year 2016, the privacy policy of 'end to end encryption' is applicable on the
app, which your message cannot be read by any third.
The company is adding new features to its platform
to prevent fake news spreading through the messaging app WhatsApp. Please be
cautious in the matter of sending messages through WhatsApp, be safe and
disseminate this message to your acquaintances and groups in maximum number.
