WhatsApp It is still improving, and it does so by introducing new security measures that will guarantee greater protection of chats.
During the day yesterday, a new one was announced Privacy setting of users who will make sure all content shared in chat, as well as chronology. In essence, nobody will be able to appropriate private conversations and what they shared in them. Users safety remains in the first place for the instant messaging application, which every time provides new guarantee levels.
In the last few hours we have therefore spoken of “Advanced chat privacy”. In essence, other users will no longer be able to download the contents of a chat, bringing them outside WhatsApp. It will be possible to activate this function both in group chats and in single conversations; Once this further level of protection has set, no one will be able to export the chronology of chats elsewhere elsewhere, taking possession of personal data and not his own.

Ephemeral messages and chat padlocks were also introduced. Now one more step has been taken with “advanced chat privacy”. “This new setting available both in chats and in groups prevents people from bringing content outside WhatsApp, thus guaranteeing greater privacy“, This is what explained.“If the setting is active, you will prevent others from exporting chats, download automatically multimedia files on the phone and use messages for IA functions. In this way all participants will have greater trust that no one will be able to export what is said in the chat “.
The WhatsApp team recommends using this function when it is part of a group chat In which all participants are not yet well known, or when very personal topics are covered.
