The world’s most popular WhatsApp application is about to become more secure. Meta made it clear to make the number one messaging app as secure as possible. A few weeks ago, WhatsApp released a security feature that allows a user to send an image that only the other user can view. Rumors reaching us indicate that WhatsApp is about to make this feature more secure with the upcoming update.
Expected New Whatsapp Features
There are two new privacy and security features that come with the latest WhatsApp update. First, there is a feature that allows you to sneak out of a WhatsApp group without the other members of the group knowing. But there is a problem here, the group admin will receive an alert that you have unsubscribed from the group.
The other feature is something that many have secretly wanted. Not everyone wants to hide their presence on WhatsApp. Some prefer to hide their “last seen” but some do not, some also prefer to hide their read messages (blue ticks) but some do not. With this new feature coming, it will definitely be useful for everyone. This new feature will allow users to decide who they can see when they are online. So, as a user, you can decide to allow all of your contacts to see you when you are online. Or some specific contacts to see you when you’re online. In fact, you can kill for never letting anyone see you when you’re online. As I mentioned earlier, this selection will be useful to all users.
Finally, the most important feature of this article. When Meta rolled out the WhatsApp update that allows users to send only viewable photos and videos, every user welcomed it as it was absolutely necessary for sharing security related photos and videos. But this feature had a significant flaw that was enough to cancel out its importance. The challenge with this feature is that users can take a screenshot to “view images” or videos sent to them.
How can WhatsApp solve this problem?
To prevent this vulnerability, the WhatsApp team has decided to roll out a major update. This update may prevent users from taking screenshots of a “view from” photo or video. WhatsApp has not yet determined a release date for this feature. But what we can confirm is that the work is almost complete on this update.
