How the new features work
On Facebook, you'll see warnings about friend requests that seem off, like barely any mutual friends or weird locations.
WhatsApp now flags risky device-linking attempts such as requests to scan QR codes or to enter your phone number and a device-linking code.
Messenger is stepping up too: it can spot patterns like fake job offers and will suggest blocking suspicious chats.
Meta has already shut down more than 150,000 scam accounts with help from law enforcement (including 21 arrests in Thailand).
Meta did not specify a timeline for any broader ad-revenue verification goals.
