The free messaging and video calling app wants people to know that it takes its users’ privacy and security seriously. This is why they are rolling out a long-awaited update to all users on all platforms.
First off, this month will see the release of the most-requested privacy feature, which will let you control who can see you online. If you want to hide from someone, WhatsApp got your back.
Next up is the blocking screenshots of View Once messages. The sharing of images or other media that doesn’t require a permanent digital record is already immensely popular thanks to View Once. To provide an additional degree of security, they are now implementing screenshot blocking for View Once messages. The update will be made available to users when WhatsApp completes testing of this feature.
Last but not least, you can finally leave a group silently without announcing it to everyone. But the group admins will still be notified that you have left the group. This feature is coming out this month to all users.
