Scammers are constantly evolving their tactics – and so are we. Every day, criminals use increasingly sophisticated measures to defraud people on our platforms and across the Internet. That’s why we’re announcing new investments in advanced AI, tools for people to spot and avoid scammers, and partnerships with law enforcement and industry peers for offline enforcement.

Here’s a closer look at our progress and what’s next in our fight against scams. Our Latest Anti-Scam Tools Across our apps, our systems find and remove malicious accounts. But we know that scammers try to avoid our detection and may not immediately use accounts maliciously.

Our teams of experts built new tools to alert you before engaging with something suspicious. WhatsApp device linking warning: Scammers may try to trick you into linking your WhatsApp account to their device. For example, they may urge you to share your phone number, followed by a device linking code on your WhatsApp or try to trick you into scanning a QR code under false pretenses, which would then link the scammer’s device to your account.

To stay ahead of these tactics, WhatsApp will now alert you when behavioral signals suggest a linking request might be suspicious. These alerts will show you where the request is coming from and warn that it could be a scam, giving you the chance to pause and reconsider before it happens.

Visit the WhatsApp Help Center for more ways to stay safe when linking your device on WhatsApp. Facebook alerts for suspicious friend requests: We are testing new warnings on Facebook to help you navigate suspicious accounts.
