One of the most used communication applications today is WhatsApp. The application, which offers numerous communication options such as video calls, video messages, voice messages, text messages, photos, documents and stickers, will increase the security of its users according to the latest reports. However, this increase also requires some sacrifices. Here are the details…
WhatsApp will completely hide your IP address, but there will be some decreases in call quality!
As you know, calls in WhatsApp application are made over the internet. For this reason, this communication is achieved by connecting two IP addresses that want to make a call over the internet, rather than through signals and lines like a normal operator call. However, in this case, the other party may have access to some private information.
One of this information is your IP address. In these calls made via IP addresses, there is a possibility that the other party can see your address. Of course, WhatsApp takes the necessary security measures for this, but a malicious person can access this information if he has enough knowledge and equipment. For this reason, Meta offers you the opportunity to completely hide your IP address by switching to a different system.
This new IP address hiding feature transfers your search primarily to the servers of Meta, which also owns Facebook and Instagram. Then, you connect with the person you want with an IP address on Meta servers. Thus, your IP address is completely hidden after a short journey on Meta servers. This sounds great, but let’s tell you the other side of things.
Completely hiding your IP address is a plus for you. However, a short trip to Meta servers during calls and calls may mean decreases in call and image quality. Because calls made without assigning a server have the fastest data transfer. For this reason, the intervention of Meta servers will cause quality decreases that may or may not be noticeable to the user.
So what do you think about this issue? How noticeable do you think this drop in calls and call quality will be? Do not forget to share your opinions on the subject with us in the comments section. Stay tuned to ShiftDelete.Net for more content!
