WhatsAppdetailed the new privacy features announced on Twitter today by preparing a special article.
WhatsApp This article published by given: “Privacy is part of WhatsApp’s DNA. That’s why we will never stop developing new ways to protect your personal chats. We believe that messaging and calling should always be as private and secure as face-to-face chats. It must be as if two people are talking and no one is around. WhatsApp protects users’ personal calls and messages with default end-to-end encryption so that no one other than the intended recipient can hear or see them. However, this is only one of the important parts of protecting your privacy.
Over the years, we’ve added new layers of privacy protection that offer multiple ways to secure your messages, such as self-destructing timed messages, end-to-end encrypted backups when you want to save your chat history, 2-step verification for added security, and the ability to block and report spam.
Today, we introduce new privacy features that add even more layers of protection and give you more control over your messages. We are excited to present. This is all part of the work we do to keep your conversations safe on WhatsApp.
- -Leave the Groups Quietly: We love our group chats, but some don’t last forever. We make it possible to sneak out of a group without anyone noticing. Now only admins will be notified when leaving, instead of the entire group. This feature will begin rolling out to all users this month.
- -Choose Who Can See You When You’re Online: Seeing our friends or family online helps us feel connected, but there have been times when we all wanted to privately control our WhatsApp. For those moments when you want to keep your online visibility private, we offer the ability to choose who can and cannot see you when you are online. This feature will begin rolling out to all users this month.
- -Preventing Screenshots for Once Viewed Messages: View Once is an extremely popular way to share photos or media that doesn’t need a permanent digital recording. We are now enabling the ability to prevent screenshots from being taken on Once Viewed messages to offer even more protection. We are currently testing this feature and we are very excited to release it to users soon.
