One of the most used instant messaging apps in the world, WhatsAppseems to have no more secrets for users who use it very often daily. Everyone, some more who less, are interested in their own privacy and in particular to the content of the chat in which chatter, secrets, confidences, documents and so on are enclosed.
How to hide chats
To make sure that prying eyes do not start to peek at their content, a tool that can be easily set directly by entering the app can help us: whether it is Apple or Android, you will have to go on the settings item and we will discover a list of possibilities. What interests us most, in this case, is the chat: by clicking we will discover another menu but for the operation we want to do we must activate the option “Keep the stored chats“. The developers explain that”The archived chats will remain in the archive when you receive a new message“.
How the archive works
Here, at that point there will be a menu that contains the chat stored: those who are next to us at a certain moment, therefore, will not be able to read the content that comes from the sender. Be careful, however, because the reverse of the medal is to forget to respond. As written a little while ago, if one or more chat come Archive No notification arrives on our device, which is why we will have to go “manually” to check if a message has arrived. To ensure that everything is restored, if necessary, just click the option “Extract from the archive” and the chat in question will return to be part of the usual list.
The other options
When it is important for us to maintain privacy in the most disparate situations of everyday life, therefore, you can make our conversations disappear in a simple and practical way. In short, not from now, WhatsApp offers multiple possibilities: let’s not forget that, regardless of those around us and can read, the individual chats can be set to make the messages disappear after a predefined timer which allows you to delete everything based on the chosen option: after 24 hours, after 7 days, after 90 days or never.
Finally, on WhatsApp, there has long been the end-to-end encryption with which one intends that “Only you and the person you are talking to you can read
The messages, and no one else. With the encrypted end-to-end backup, you can add the same level of protection to Google and iCloud backups “, explain the developers on the appropriate section dedicated to the FAQs.
