ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): WhatsApp, a messaging application that makes communication even easier across the globe, continues to stay popular due to the features introduced from time to time.
One of the handiest features is message preview in notifications, which allows users to read incoming messages without opening the app.
This same feature sometimes affects your privacy, especially when someone is present around you and watches the message on your screen through the notification. So, let’s learn how you can disable the message notification feature available in WhatsApp’s built-in settings.
Open WhatsApp and tap on the three-dot menu in the top-left corner of the screen. Then, go to Settings, select Privacy, and then go to the App Lock section.
If you value privacy, then enable screen biometric authentication. The next screen will present the Content Notification option.
If your notification button is turned on, then turn it off. When this setting is off, your WhatsApp messages will no longer appear on the lock screen and will not appear in notifications, thus keeping your messages private.
WhatsApp has introduced a new feature for iPhone users, through which accounts with two separate phone numbers can now be easily operated on the same device.
According to WhatsApp, under this new feature, each account will have its own chat history, notifications, profile settings, and privacy, and users will be able to easily switch between them through the account list in the settings menu.
This feature is especially useful for users who want to use personal and work numbers on the same phone, and they will not need to use additional phones or a business WhatsApp.
The multi-account feature is currently available on iOS beta version 25.34.10.72 or later. Notifications will clearly indicate which account is receiving the message when users switch between accounts, and authentication features like Face ID and Touch ID will also be enabled for security.
According to initial reports, beta users have tested the feature in select areas, and a general release date is yet to be announced.
