When a user leaves a group, a notification now appears below the conversation telling other members of the group who has left.
While users could already disable a feature that tells others whether they have read a message or not, it failed to hide the fact that a user was online and using WhatsApp.
WhatsApp will prevent you from taking screenshots of messages
WhatsApp’s more than 2 billion users will also be able to prevent them from taking screenshots of “must-see-only” messages that are designed to disappear once opened. WhatsApp said that the screenshot blocking tool is currently being tested and will be available to users soon.
Ami Vora, WhatsApp’s product manager, said the platform is focused on building features that “give people more control and privacy over their messages.”
