WhatsApp announced several new privacy updates on Tuesday (09), including the ability for users to check their messages without other people knowing.
The platform will soon allow people to control who can see when they are online, leave groups without notifying entire channels, and prevent others from taking screenshots of certain messages.
WhatsApp has more than 2 billion users globally, and is owned by Facebook parent Meta.
Announcing the changes on Facebook and Instagram, its Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg said the Company would “Keep building new ways to protect your messages and keep them as private and secure as face-to-face conversations.”
