Fake pictures, audios and videos are rampant on social media now. It is difficult to understand which is real and which is fake. One after another 'deepfake' cases are being caught in the application of artificial intelligence. This is one such technique, thanks to which the face of any person in the world is being changed in the picture or video. The torso and torso of the other are very delicately and almost perfectly incorporated into one person's body. So WhatsApp is bringing a new technique to identify the pictures that are coming in the chat almost every day, whether they are real or created with technology.


The 'Search on Web' feature is going to be launched experimentally on WhatsApp. By using this feature, it can be understood whether the picture that comes in your chat is real or fake.


Let's say someone sends you a picture in a chat, or you get multiple pictures in a group chat, which you don't know if they are real or fake. Then open the chat and go to the 'three dot' menu on the top right. Click there and you will see the 'Search on Web' option. You can search there and see if the picture is real or fake. It will also be understood where the image comes from, whether it is a deepfake image or not. Once you understand the source of the image, you will become aware.


Technology is now so advanced that the technique of reading a person's facial expressions in great detail has been mastered. Applying artificial intelligence, it is also possible to imitate the voice of that person. Then using that technology, it's very easy to superimpose someone else's face on someone's face or body. Or any of the surroundings, even the scenery can be changed. Such pictures are now going viral on social media. These pictures are also spreading in WhatsApp groups. So WhatsApp is going to bring such a feature to take action against it.
