New changes will bring more security to WhatsApp users
Since last year, WhatsApp has been concerned with meeting the demands of those who use the service. In this sense, the platform had released a unique message feature, which allowed people to send photos as messages that the other could only view once.
In order to increase the security and privacy of users, the green app said that the new feature that will be released in the next update will prohibit anyone from taking a print in messages with visualization exclusive.
According to information, the idea is still being tested, but will soon be put into use. The new product will be available for phones with Android and iOS operating systems, as well as a web version (PC).
Release of new features on WhatsApp
In addition to blocking the print in a single view message, the platform warned that it will offer some new tools. Two more significant updates include: choosing who can see you're online in the app, and silently leaving groups.
In the first case, the platform will allow the person to choose who can or cannot see them when they are online. This long-awaited new option will begin rolling out to all users later this month.
In the second case, the individual will be able to leave a group without attracting the attention of the other participants. Instead of letting the whole group know when someone leaves, only admins know.
