WhatsApp will include new privacy measures on iPhone
Apparently WhatsApp is concerned about maintaining the privacy of users of your courier service. And it is that the confusion of the last weeks about the implementation of a alleged security measure that prevented seeing the profile photos of some users, has raised many blisters. A measure that, in the end, seems to have only been a failure of the service.The question now is whether it is not a bug caused by the implementation of new features that would be coming Issues that have been revealed in the new version beta or testing of WhatsApp for iPhone
Or at least that's what they say on the website iPhoneItalia, where they have obtained several images of the new version that WhatsApp would be preparing for iPhone One in which the most important novelty would lie in the possibility of manage the privacy of the user with several options regarding the discussed function Last connection, the possibility of blocking the profile photo and even limit the visibility of the status phrase Issues that, So far, they are always visible to other users, without being able to manage it.
The filtered images show how a new section would be enabled in the menu Settings called Privacy In it, three completely new options would appear in the scope of the application WhatsApp, plus the well-known section of blocked contacts, which would now be organized within this same menu. The three new options are the ones discussed. In this way, when clicking on Last connection (Last seen) the user could choose between three different privacy options, allowing all know this information, only contacts (users whose phone numbers are available) or even no users Which, supposedly, would disable this feature entirely.
Exactly the same thing would happen both with the option Profile photo and with the Status , where the user could limit the number of contacts that could have access to this information that up to now is public.A good way to manage privacy and avoid spam or messages from strangers who only speak after seeing a suggestive profile photo. Hotly debated issues since a few days ago the photos of the contacts began to disappear randomly
Perhaps a more orderly way of giving privacy to an application whose functions are criticized and defended in equal measure by its own users. And it is that having a profile photo is useful to add new users or know at all times who is sending a message. But you may want to protect yourself from onlookers you don't want to make contact with.
Anyway, at the moment these are images of a alleged beta version, so it could still take a while for the release to arrive. final update to the rest of the users. Or even that it does not come with all these options after the trial period.We will remain alert to find out if WhatsApp decides to apply this new privacy layer to its messaging service.
