The popular messaging application WhatsApp is going to give its users the ability to change who can see their online status.
Don’t you just want to be able to get on an app, subtly check your messages and not have to worry about someone trying to start up a conversation? Well, WhatsApp just announced it will be doing just that.
On Tuesday, WhatsApp announced a slew of new privacy updates, some of which included giving users the ability to control who sees them online, a screenshot blocking feature and an update that allows a person to leave groups without the groups’ members knowing.
Owned by Facebook’s parent company, Meta, WhatsApp serves two billion users around the world, CNN Business reports. As the company continues to find helpful ways for users to maintain their privacy, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the platform would “keep building new ways to protect your messages and keep them as private and secure as face-to-face conversations.”
