Meta has announced new tools to help WhatsApp and Messenger users protect themselves from potential scams and secure their accounts.

On Messenger, the company has started testing more advanced scam-detection for suspicious chats that will warn users when a new contact sends a potentially scammy message, giving them the option to send recent messages for AI scam review to check for signs of a scam.

When a potential scam is spotted, users will be alerted and provided a set of suggested actions, such as blocking or reporting the sender.
