CALIFORNIA (Kashmir English): Messaging App WhatsApp is all set to introduce a new feature aimed at limiting chat sharing and enhancing user privacy in communication.
The update will be available in the coming days. The feature will be part of WhatsApp Beta for Android version 2.25.10.14, available on the Google Play Store.
Experts are expecting the release in a future update soon. The popular Meta-owned messaging platform’s advanced chat privacy feature will allow users to prevent their phone media from automatically saving to the device’s gallery.
While this functionality was previously available for disappearing chats, the meta-owned WhatsApp is now extending it to users who opt to activate the new advanced chat privacy option in the future.
WhatsApp privacy protections
The update will unveil a set of privacy protections, including restrictions on exporting entire chat histories.
This means WhatsApp will be able to block the export of chat histories involving users who have enabled this privacy setting.
The decision is to safeguard private conversations and prevent unauthorized data transfers, further strengthening user confidentiality on the platform.
Earlier, WhatsApp introduced an exciting new feature that allows users to add temporary music clips to their profile updates.
The move was aimed to enhance the user experience by enabling more personalized and engaging status updates.
Users can expect the new feature is rolled out globally in the coming weeks.
