In the interest of privacy, three long-awaited features are finally integrated into the new update of the WhatsApp application. Now the user of the application can leave a discussion group without its members feeling it.
The new update also enables the option to block screenshots for chats and another option to hide online status for certain contacts of your choice.
In a note posted on Twitter, the Meta subsidiary claimed that the features will be released in a new app update in the coming days.
The first option is to provide the user with the ability to customize which contacts can see the online status that designates the user’s access to the app.

A second option to strengthen security on WhatsApp is the one concerning the prohibition of taking screenshots of ephemeral photos and videos distributed in conversations.
As for the third feature, it only targets discussion groups, so it is a question of granting people who wish to leave a group, to do so in a discreet way, without notifying the other members of the group.
In a strategy of innovation, the company of Mark Zuckerberg seeks to further develop its applications, in particular those related to privacy and security.
