WhatsApp wants to create more privacy for users with a new feature.
The function is still in the test phase and could be rolled out soon.
Munich - WhatsApp, the world's most widely used messenger service, is constantly working on updates.
The developers are fine-tuning their application to make it more user-friendly and to make the service even more popular.
A new, exciting function will soon follow in the settings, which will guarantee more privacy.
The addition should make it possible to prevent selected contacts from seeing their own activities in the application.
WhatsApp update adds privacy options - release apparently soon
There are plans to expand the options for privacy.
So far, you could only choose between three categories of who should see information such as profile picture, last online or info - everyone, only contacts or nobody.
So an extremely limited selection.
If a user only wanted to keep certain contacts in the dark, he couldn't do this.
According to the
WABetaInfo
portal
, this will apparently change now.
