WhatsApp 2023: New Privacy Features, Settings, and More


In today’s digital age, privacy is a major concern for many people. With the rise of messaging apps like WhatsApp, it can be difficult to know how much control you have over your personal information and conversations.

Fortunately, there are several steps you can take to increase your privacy on WhatsApp. In this article, we’ll explore some tips and tricks that will help keep your messages secure.

Use Disappearing Messages

One way to enhance your privacy on WhatsApp is by using disappearing messages. This feature automatically deletes any message after seven days from when it was sent or received in both individual chats and group chats.

While turning on disappearing messages will give you some more privacy; however, whoever receives the message could still screenshot or take a photograph of what’s displayed on their screen before it disappears permanently.

Set Photos And Videos To View Once

Another option available within Whatsapp settings is setting photos/videos as “View once.” As its name suggests – The recipient has only one chance at opening these images/ videos which cannot be viewed again later nor captured via screenshots etc., making them an ideal choice if sending sensitive content such as passwords or bank details securely without leaving behind traces online!

To send media files with view-once mode enabled: tap the icon contained within a partial circle while composing new chat threads- select photo/video attachment optionsSponsored Product > choose “view once” instead of regular sharing modes (such as forward/share).

Lock Down Your Chats

WhatsApp offers two features that allow users greater security measures against unauthorized access:

Screen Lock – Keeps app locked unless opened through biometrics authentication methods such Face ID/Fingerprint scanner present in most modern smartphones running Android OS/iOS versions 14 onwards). You’ll need first set up biometric verification under Settings>Privacy> Screen lock before activating this feature.

Chat Locks– Individual Chat locks require passcode/fingerprints /face recognition scan each time someone tries accessing specific conversation threads. To enable this feature, tap on the chat you want to lock > select Chat Lock> choose a passcode or biometric authentication method.

Tweak Your Notification Settings

WhatsApp notifications can be customized in several ways under settings such as Show Preview – which determines how much of each message is displayed when new messages arrive; choosing “No” will hide all content from appearing within notification banners/lock screens while still alerting users about incoming chats/messages via sound/vibration alerts only.

Limit Who Can Add You To Groups

By default, anyone with your phone number can add you to WhatsApp groups without permission. However, there are optionsSponsored Product available that allow limiting who has access: My Contacts Only and My Contacts Except… This way people wanting to include others into group conversations must first request approval before adding them directly through separate messaging channels instead!

Switch Over To Signal App For More Privacy Features

If privacy concerns remain high even after implementing these measures mentioned above then switching over entirely towards more secure alternatives like Signal app might prove beneficial for those seeking greater control over their online communications! The signal offers end-to-end encryption along with additional features such as disappearing messages (which disappear immediately once read), screen locks/chats locks similar Whatsapp’s security protocols but also includes advanced protection against metadata harvesting by third-party entities.

In conclusion

These tips should help keep your private information safe while using WhatsApp messenger services- however always remember no system is 100% foolproof so it’s essential not to  share sensitive data unless absolutely necessary & avoid clicking suspicious links sent via unknown sources altogether!.
