NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
The introduction of AI-powered features to combat online scams is part of a broader effort by tech companies to enhance user safety and security. WhatsApp, with its large user base, is a common target for scammers, who often use the platform to send phishing messages or fraudulent links. By processing messages locally on the device, the new feature may also help to alleviate concerns about data privacy and third-party access.
