WhatsApp wants to fight the spread of fake news — and realistic video sexual assault eroticismthat means a meaningful change is coming to its app.
On Tuesday, the company announced it's adding labels to forwarded messages so users can better identify rumors, fake news, and other false information that often spreads via the messaging app.

Last week India's Ministry of Electronics sent a strongly-worded warning to the company, asking it to "take immediate action" on the issue.
WhatsApp has responded with new features, including new admin controls for group messages, as well as a bigger initiative to study fake news. The app is also taking out full-page newspaper ads in India to warn users not to trust forwarded messages.
