Meta is working on a new scam detection feature for WhatsApp called Scam Alert. This tool is designed to spot potentially fraudulent messages from unknown senders while preserving end-to-end encryption and without transmitting message content to any server.

The feature was recently observed in a WhatsApp beta for Android by WABetaInfo. There is no announced release date, and the feature is still in development and not yet available to all users.
