Enabling IP protection on WhatsApp
It is worth noting that activating this setting to protect the IP address in WhatsApp calls may have an influence on the quality of calls.
While a direct connection can provide higher quality, it also exposes the IP addresses of the devices involved.
Therefore, when opting for this additional layer of privacy, it is important to consider the potential reduction in call quality in exchange for the anonymity provided by IP address hiding.
This decision involves a balance between privacy and performance, and it is crucial to choose the configuration that best meets individual needs. Check out the step by step and protect your connections.
Open WhatsApp and click on the settings icon. Find the three dots in the top right corner of the screen.
Select the “Privacy” option from the list of settings.
A new page will appear. Scroll down until you find the “Advanced Settings” option and click on it.
Once you are in the “Advanced settings” section, find the option “Protect IP address in calls”.
Activate this option by sliding the corresponding button to the on position.
By following these steps, you will be enabling IP address protection on WhatsApp calls, contributing to an additional layer of security and privacy during your interactions on the application.
