It is undoubtedly one of the great concerns of the users that we write in the messaging apps, that these messages are left on our phones and that they cannot simply reach third parties. For those cases, the new functions that has now announced WhatsAppThey are ideal, because they add an extra layer of security to the custody of our messages.
New WhatsApp Privacy Layer
The application has announced it in a new entry of your blog, where it has revealed that beyond our messages they are already well protected by end -to -end encryption, we will now have a little more privacy in our chats. This new layer is called Advanced Chat Privacyand you can enjoy both individual chats and those we have within groups. And it has been developed so that our chats are always in a safe place.
Because with this new layer we are going to prevent third parties can share our messages outside the application. In this way we gain control over what we write, even in the event that these texts leave the application. when this function is activated, what we get is that our messages cannot be exported outside WhatsApp massively.
We can even prevent them from discharging the attached contents we send on their phonesso the scope of photos, videos or documents that we send to other people is limited, preventing them from reaching where we want. Obviously, there will always be options to get a message from a chat, but it will not be so easy to do when it comes to a complete conversation or chat.
In this way, in those chats that we share with hundreds of people, such as that of the community of neighbors, school parents and other similar ones, where we do not completely know the participants, our attachments or files will not be able to get out of their devices at least through the usual media. When the person on the other side of the conversation, or in a group in which we participate, Try to export a chat with our messages, you will see a message that it is not possible Because we have this mode activated.
At the moment the function is not available for all userseven those who have the beta version, we have not seen it yet. However, it will be quite simple to activate when available, as WhatsApp tells us, since we will only have to do it from the individual or group chat settings.
There, Under the restricting chat functionwe will find a new called advanced privacy of the chat, a function that we will have to activate to limit the scope of our messages in third parties devices. In this way there are already many options that we have in the Meta messaging application to improve the privacy of messages. From the activation of temporal messages, to the restriction of the chats.
