Whatsapp and the new privacy features: you can do everything “secretly”

The first innovation presented is the one that concerns Whatsapp groups. Until now, leaving a group created a certain embarrassment also because everyone would have seen our “escape” from the chat. Well now it will be possible to leave a group any secretly, without everyone being able to see it: the only ones to be aware of it will be the administrators.

Among the various functions there is a particular one which, however, is still in the testing phase. One-time viewable messages are already available, as are photos and multimedia content. To protect even more user privacy it will be shortly the possibility to block is available screenshots for this type of message, so that it is not possible to keep them in any way on devices.

These are new ways to protect the privacy of messages in addition to those already present, such as the ability to block unwanted contacts and report them or see who blocked us on Whatsapp.
