WhatsApp, the encrypted messaging app owned by Facebook, launched a rumor and misinformation tip line for users in India on Tuesday ahead of the country’s prime minister elections, which will be held from April 11 to 19. The launch comes after reports that existing efforts from WhatsApp to fight rumors and misinformation in India are having little consequence.

The tip line—called the “Checkpoint Tipline”—must be manually messaged or added to a user’s contact list using the number +91-9643-000-888. Users can then submit a rumor as a text or an image.
