WhatsApp It includes a multitude of functionalities, especially in the application for mobile devices, but on the other hand WhatsApp web on desktop usually has fewer functions than iOS and Android.
One of those functions that mobile users are already enjoying is the issue of reverse image search, so they can check the authenticity of the images that are shared in their groups or in any individual conversation.
Now thanks to Wabetainfo we know that WhatsApp engineers are developing a reverse image search function to WhatsApp web that you will surely use a lot.
Thanks to this new option you can upload a photo to Google to perform a reverse image search. This is used to know if the image already exists, so it can help us determine if it has been modified.
Honeycomb info
It should be noted that before we had to download the image to our computer, and then manually upload it to Google to perform this reverse search.
Since this shortcut is already directly in WhatsApp web, it will not be necessary to carry out this previous step.
On the other hand, once we select the image for the reverse search The image will be uploaded to Google with the user’s approval.
It should be noted that the operation of uploading the photo is completely managed by Google and WhatsApp will not have access to the content of the image selected in the process.
At the moment, don’t rush to update WhatsApp web because this reverse search option is not yet available, since it is in the development channel, but presumably it should be available to everyone during the first weeks of 2025.
