WhatsApp is taking an important step to make its users’ privacy settings more understandable and accessible. WhatsApp, the popular messaging app developed under the Meta umbrella, is testing a new feature called “Privacy Control” in Android and iOS beta versions. This feature will serve as a guide for users who find privacy settings complicated or want to review all options in one place.
WhatsApp is testing Privacy Control to make managing your privacy easier
Privacy is becoming more and more important in the digital world. With this in mind, WhatsApp is planning to launch this new feature to help its users manage their privacy settings in the best way possible. So, what exactly does Privacy Control offer?
This new feature will be located in a section called “Privacy Control” in the WhatsApp settings menu. When you click here, WhatsApp will guide you step by step to protect your privacy. The Privacy Control panel will include the following headings:
- Choose who can reach you: In this section, you will be able to determine who can contact you on WhatsApp. You can choose whether only the people in your contacts or everyone can send you messages. This will make it much easier to avoid unwanted messages.
- Control your personal information: You will be able to set who can see your personal information in this step. You can decide who can see information such as your profile photo, status and last seen time.
- Increase the privacy of your chats: Under this heading, you will learn what you can do to make your chats even more secure. For example, you will learn how to enable end-to-end encryption, double verification and other security features.
- Increase the security of your account: In this section, you will be able to add extra security measures to your WhatsApp account, further increasing the security of your account information.
This feature will be a great convenience, especially for users who are not very experienced with privacy settings. Privacy Checker will provide WhatsApp users with a detailed explanation of what each setting means and how to use them.
