A fake WhatsApp message is available for use that discusses the government's command over the texting application. The message claims, "Two blue tick, and one red tick implies that the government can make a move, while three red ticks will mean the government has begun court procedures against you." This is false as WhatsApp has not rolled out any improvements to its framework to illuminate clients about the conveyance regarding messages through 'ticks' otherwise known as check marks. The deceptive message comes in the midst of a lawful battle among WhatsApp and the government over the as of late presented IT rules in the country.
The message, that has been coursed across numerous WhatsApp gatherings and is labeled with 'sent commonly's name, falsely asserts that WhatsApp is bringing new correspondence rules for messages and calls that will associate gadgets to the government. It likewise specifies that the new framework will permit the law authorization specialists to make a move against individuals posting messages and recordings against the government.

A comparable message was posted in a few gatherings on the informing application and via web-based media a year ago also. The Press Information Bureau (PIB) around then disproved the cases and obviously said that the government was not getting to any messages sent over WhatsApp or making a move against their senders.It is fitting to not advance any such fake messages from your end.That said, the circumstance of the fake message is intriguing as WhatsApp is right now shielding its position of not following the arrangements of the enhanced IT rules in India. The Facebook-possessed organization even recorded a claim against the government recently and said that the new principles would affect client security. The government additionally reacted to WhatsApp and condemned its turn.
