Mark Zuckerberg has announced three new privacy features for Whatsapp on Facebook, which are set to make their way into Messenger in the foreseeable future.
According to the Zuckerbergs announcement In the future, members of a Whatsapp group should no longer receive a system notification in the chat that someone has left the group. In addition, Whatsapp users should be able to control who can see their online status, which will allow them to be completely hidden in the future. As a third innovation, the Facebook boss promises that for the messenger service that has been in use since 2014, it will no longer be possible to create screenshots of self-deleting one-time messages.
As referring to the WAbeta.info website reported, only administrators will be informed about the notifications about leaving groups, although the innovation should probably be available this month apart from beta testers. Meanwhile, a feature was recently introduced in beta versions for Android and iOS that makes it possible to see past participants in a group who have left or been removed from it in the last 60 days.
If users do not want everyone to be able to see your online presence, the “Last seen” menu item in the data protection options should soon be able to be configured more precisely, which has already been announced. According to the report, this function should be activated later this month. Regarding the blocking of screenshots in self-deleting one-time messages, it says that there is no notification that the other party has attempted to take a screen capture. Normal chats can also continue to be documented. According to the report, there is no more precise release date for the feature.
