Billions of people have been urged to make a change to their WhatsApp, after the platform added a new feature to upgrade users' privacy and security. A new tool called Privacy Check-Up has been added to the app, and takes users to the privacy settings.
Owned by Meta, WhatsApp stated: "Protecting the privacy of your messages remains the driving force behind what we’re building at WhatsApp. While End-to-end encryption is the foundation to ensure your calls and messages are secure, we continue to add more layers of privacy on top.
"Including the recently launched Chat Lock to protect sensitive chats behind a password, Disappearing Messages that vanish, screenshot blocking for View Once, and the ability to keep your online presence private. Securing your private communication is important because we know people need a safe place to communicate" reports Birmingham Live.
