WhatsApp has introduced a new privacy feature that allows users to hide their IP addresses when making calls through the encrypted messaging app.
Previously, one-to-one conversations on WhatsApp were established as direct peer-to-peer connections between users. While this method provided the best audio quality, it also meant that connected devices had to share their IP addresses with each other.
