WhatsApp Rolls Out New Privacy Features
In August 2024, WhatsApp introduced new privacy updates to improve user control over their personal information. One of the most talked-about features is “Chat Lock,” which lets users lock specific conversations with a password or biometric authentication. This ensures that private chats are kept secure, even if someone else has access to the phone.
Another important update is the ability to hide your online status from specific contacts, giving users more flexibility in managing their visibility on the app. Additionally, WhatsApp now allows temporary messages that disappear after a set time, improving privacy in group chats.
These updates are aimed at making the app more secure and user-friendly, especially for those concerned about data protection in today’s digital world.
