Meta is rolling out new scam detection features across Facebook, WhatsApp, and Messenger. Facebook will show alerts for suspicious friend requests based on signals like few mutual friends or mismatched location. WhatsApp is adding device linking warnings to prevent scammers from tricking users into linking their accounts via fake websites or QR codes. Messenger's advanced AI scam detection, which flags suspicious chat patterns like fake job offers and prompts users to share messages for AI review, is expanding to more countries. Meta also reported removing over 159 million scam ads and 10.9 million scam-associated accounts last year.
