Social media has gradually become one of the most essential parts of our life. It has become so essential that we can’t imagine our life without them. However, the most difficult thing about social media is fake news. It is really hard for anyone to distinguish between real and hoax messages, which gets social media users in trouble.
Currently, several people are receiving notifications about the new WhatsApp update. This new notification tells them that a new WhatsApp update named WhatsApp Gold is available for them. The message also contains a link, which redirects users to a site from where they can download the new update.
However, not many people know that this is fake messages and WhatsApp is not giving any such kinds of updates. We repeat this is virus not update. It can ultimately harm your phones, as this virus allows them to sneak into your system and corrupt some valuable data. We strongly advise you to don’t fall for this hoax and avoid it at any cost.
Several social media users are also warning people about the same. Check out some of the tweets regarding the same down below.
I've been sent this warning twice today so am passing it on as better safe than sorry…
"If you receive a message to update Whatsapp Gold * Do not open it!
They just announced that the virus is serious.
Send it to everyone."— Bakehouse Cottage aka Helen #FBPE (@Bakehouse2016) January 3, 2019
