WhatsApp updates
Until the last version available to most of us, WhatsApp always delivers when someone is online via the notice at the top of the conversation when opening it. And where is the privacy? The only resource available, for the time being, to escape the requirement for quick responses was to remove the “last seen”.
Through this tool, it became possible to hide a little of your tracks when using the messenger, as the other person won't know right away how often you open the app to see the texts. The complicated thing is that there was always an “online” record to denounce it. If someone is watching you, there's nothing you can do.
This has always been a complaint from most users, especially those who want a little more privacy. In view of the requests, Meta – the company responsible for WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram – reported that this feature is about to be released! This is one of the new changes that the application incorporates this year.
Recently it was also announced that there will be an option that will disclose the list of names of former members of a group, in addition to the feature of blocking screenshots in some conversations.
How to be “invisible” on WhatsApp
Until now, the feature is only available for those using the beta version of the app, that is, for those people responsible for analyzing new updates. according to one announcement made by Mark Zuckerberg himself, the option will soon be available to everyone, even if for now there is still no defined date.
To activate this option, follow the same path required to remove the “last seen”. This means that the user must go to “Settings”, then click on “Privacy”. The option “Last seen and Online” will appear, so it will be possible to change both things.
