In light of the increasing interest in the security of personal information and the protection of personal privacy, WhatsApp has announced the development of a new feature aimed at enhancing the level of security and protecting users' data. According to a recent report from the Reuters agency, this new feature allows users to prevent saving photos and videos of messages across conversations, thus providing an additional layer of protection for messaging applications.
This update adds to the group of security updates that WhatsApp has provided in recent years in an attempt to protect users' data from leaks or tampering. This feature is similar to the confidential messages feature that the company previously launched, which allows users to delete messages automatically after a certain period of time. With the increasing fear of data leaks in various social media applications, taking privacy and security into account is among the top priorities in the world of technology.
This update emphasizes WhatsApp's commitment to the continuous development of its platform to provide a safe and reliable communication environment for its users. The new feature provides options to customize privacy at the level of individual conversations. In other words, users can now prevent saving these messages on their phones, allowing them more control over the data being exchanged. In this way, the risks associated with sharing or sharing these messages can be reduced without prior permission.
Experts also expect that this new update will lead to increased confidence between users and the WhatsApp application, as it is considered an important step in providing secure and reliable communication for users. This focus comes at a time when laws and regulations aimed at protecting users' data are increasing globally, making such improvements essential for WhatsApp.
Moreover, WhatsApp has launched 12 new features aimed at improving user experience and facilitating use. These features come within the platform's plans to keep up with user preferences and needs, and to enhance its presence among other competing platforms. The "silence calls" feature allows users to know the number of people present in groups silently, in addition to a feature to read the status updates submitted to an "iPhone" user, which allows them to browse and save files easily without the need for external applications.
A "WhatsApp" user can also set a default for messages and send them from within the system settings. In the context of improving laws, a special feature for voice messages was added, in addition to the ability to record and share short video clips lasting up to 60 seconds. New options have also been added to organize community notifications through a number of "alerts", which is in line with the needs of users.
Users can now add reactions that others add to messages to add expressive symbols themselves. WhatsApp updated the reactions system to include options such as replying with "Robma" to calls, adding a personal invitation, and determining the end time of the event and its dates, as well as the ability to create events within the published events, and installing them in groups to facilitate access to them.
For communications specifically, the set of improvements included enhancing its presence, with the ability to invite users to a voice call from inside the published event by clicking on the contact icon, in addition to supporting the feature of expressing through touch when making video calls (and calls). WhatsApp seeks to ensure that communications are private and safe, especially when they include data loaded with sensitive information.
This new update reflects the company's commitment to improving the user experience and enhancing their trust in the service. As WhatsApp continues to evolve and address user concerns, these new features are expected to boost user engagement and satisfaction significantly.
