WhatsApp to roll out new features soon for Android, iOS; Details inside
By Team Newsable | First Published Nov 16, 2021, 4:43 PM ISTAccording to WhatsApp tracker WABetaInfo, these features are now in development and will be put out in a future update of WhatsApp.
WhatsApp is rumoured to be working on a handful of new features, including the ability to conceal users' last seen, status, and profile image from specified contacts, as well as the ability to listen to a voice note before sending it to contacts. According to WhatsApp tracker WABetaInfo, these features are now in development and will be put out in a future update of WhatsApp. The option to conceal last seen, status and profile images from select contacts expands the company's existing privacy capabilities on the Facebook-owned instant messaging programme.
Currently, WhatsApp users may conceal their profile image, status, and last seen for all contacts at once, unable to choose who can see it. This is about to change, as WhatsApp has been discovered testing new privacy options that will allow users to pick who their updates and photographs will be hidden from. The functionality is being tested on both Android and iOS beta versions. WhatsApp users may presently choose to broadcast their Status, Profile Picture, and Last Seen to "Everyone," "Nobody," or "My Contacts."
