### AI overview

An early technical overview of WhatsApp's optional Scam Alert feature, which uses a small on-device machine learning model to classify potential scam messages while keeping message content on the device. The article explains how the design preserves end-to-end encryption through local processing, avoids automatic reporting, gives users control, and supports independent security review during a limited Beta rollout.

### Source excerpt

WhatsApp is committed to helping people stay safe while protecting the privacy of their messages. As scam tactics evolve -- from impersonation to social engineering to AI-generated lures -- we're always evolving as well, so that our protections stay ahead of scammers while protecting people's personal messages with end-to-end encryption. Today, we're sharing an early [...] Read More... The post How We're Building Scam Alert on WhatsApp With End-to-End Encryption and Verifiability Guarantees appeared first on Engineering at Meta.
