This new feature is available to beta testers and is being tested. Soon this feature will be available for all users. According to WABetaInfo, it actually provides the facility of reverse image lookup. The user will be able to know where the photo has come from and whether the photos available on the internet match it or not. In this way, it will be very easy to detect any kind of tampered photo, which will also save the user from fake news.

This feature has been added to Android 2.24.23.13 version of WhatsApp Beta. This feature will be available to the user after downloading the photo received in the chat. To use this new feature, users will have to download the latest version of WhatsApp. This can be used by tapping on the three dot menu and going to Seek on internet > Seek. However, Devices 360 staff members could not test it even on the latest version because it was not available at that time.
This feature depends on Google’s reverse image search function. Therefore, WhatsApp provides the facility to the users to use it as per their discretion. At the same time, it is also worth noting that once WhatsApp sends the image to Google for processing, it no longer has access to it. That means the platform does not retain access to the images in any form. Currently it is available for beta testers but it is expected that soon it will be available for all users.
