WhatsApp Introduces Updates to Expand User Privacy Protection
WhatsApp is rolling out a series of updates aimed at enhancing user privacy. Following the recent update that allowed for the sending of photos and videos for one-time viewing, the messaging platform has now extended this feature to voice messages as well. The update will enable the automatic deletion of a voice recording immediately after the recipient has finished listening to it. While the feature is available to all users, it is expected to be gradually updated for both iOS and Android users.
To send a voice message for one-time listening, users need to press a designated button on which the number “1” appears. Once activated, the recording is defined as one-time and will be deleted automatically after it has been played. According to a statement from the WhatsApp company, this feature will allow users to share sensitive information without fear in a voice message, such as reading credit card details to a friend or planning a surprise. Voice messages sent for one-time listening will be clearly marked with a ‘one-time’ symbol.
In addition to this latest update, WhatsApp had previously introduced a privacy innovation that allowed users to lock their secret folder with a special code containing letters, numbers, special characters, and even emojis. Only when the correct code is entered in the search bar will the folder be displayed. The messaging platform is also set to introduce the ability to hide locked chats, with users required to enter their secret code in the search bar to reveal them.
These updates reflect WhatsApp’s ongoing commitment to enhancing user privacy and security within the platform. Users can look forward to these new features being implemented on their devices in the near future. For more information on the updates and how to use these new features, users can visit the WhatsApp website.
