WhatsApp will also block taking screenshots for ‘view once’ messages. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg took to facebook to announce that this would help keep WhatsApp messaging “as private and secure as face-to-face conversations”.Īccording to statista, as of June 2022, WhatsApp has approximately two billion monthly active users, outranking WeChat at 1.2 billion users and Facebook Messenger at 988 million global users.WhatsApp on Tuesday announced new privacy features, following which users of the instant messaging service will now be able to leave groups silently as well as choose who can see when they are online. WhatsApp Messenger is an internationally available freeware, cross-platform centralised instant messaging and voice-over-IP service owned by American company Meta Platforms. Now, WhatsApp has added a screenshot blocking feature on ‘view once’ messages that will allow users to block people from taking screenshots of their images. However, these still allowed people to take screenshots of the media file. Thirdly, the ‘view once’ messages allow users to send media files that are only viewable once.
With the new feature, WhatsApp will only notify the group admin about a user leaving the group. The app currently alerts all members of a group chat to someone leaving or being removed by default. Secondly, users will be able to leave group chats silently, without WhatsApp showing a ‘person left the group’ alert on the chat.
