WhatsApp prioritizes protecting the privacy of users' messages and continues to develop features to enhance privacy. Read on to know about the new updates.
End-to-end encryption is the foundational security measure for ensuring secure calls and messages.
Additional privacy features include Chat Lock, Disappearing Messages, screenshot blocking for View Once, and the ability to hide online presence.
Two new updates have been introduced: Silence Unknown Callers and Privacy Checkup.
Silence Unknown Callers automatically screens out spam, scams, and calls from unknown people.
Silenced calls will not ring on the user's phone but will be visible in the Call list for important contacts.
Privacy Checkup is a step-by-step feature that guides users through important privacy settings in one place.
The Checkup helps users choose the right level of protection for their messages, calls, and personal information.
WhatsApp aims to spread awareness about the available privacy options through Privacy Checkup.
