We know it can sometimes be hard to tell if a message is spam or not. Sometimes it's obvious, but other times the message can look totally authentic, which of course, is by design. WhatsApp offers some helpful information about what spam messages can look like and how to spot them. You can find that info by going to the "spam and unwanted messages" section of the WhatsApp Help Center.
