WhatsApp expands security features like end-to-end encryption, disappearing messages, Touch ID and Face ID. The company introduced two new features today, called flash call and message-level reporting. For now, WhatsApp, which allows Android phone owners in India to access, said in its statement that it made this move to increase the security of users.
Message-level reporting simplifies access to profile reporting and blocking options currently in use. Thanks to this feature, the blocking function you use to remove a person from your WhatsApp account will become practical. In addition, it will be easier to report unwanted messages, spam content, disturbing elements to WhatsApp.
WhatsApp has made the registration process secure
Previously, to block or report someone on WhatsApp, you had to tap on their profile and click on the relevant options. Along with the message-level reporting feature, these options have been brought to the menu that opens when you press and hold a message in the mobile application of WhatsApp. WhatsApp has announced that it is striving to give users more control.
WhatsApp’s flash call feature has been tried for a long time.
One of the innovations is the flash call. This feature, which simplifies the verification function that users must do when logging into WhatsApp, confirms the account by calling instead of SMS. The search option actually existed before; The difference of the ‘flash call’ is that it automatically performs this directly within the mobile application of WhatsApp.
Saying that it will be safer because it performs the verification directly from the application, WhatsApp said in its statement about the new features, “As a result of our efforts to provide users with more security and control; In addition to many other security measures, we are introducing two new security features, ‘flash call’ and ‘message-level reporting’, to ensure that the user experience remains secure. ” he said.
Last seen feature is also in development
The popular instant messaging app is adding a new option to its last seen section as part of an effort to improve privacy. With the feature, which is known to be in development, you will be able to make sure that only certain people can see when you were last active. Last seen currently supports three options ‘Everyone’, ‘My Contacts’ and ‘Nobody’.
After the new feature is available, ‘Selected contacts’ will be added to the last seen section, which can be accessed from WhatsApp Settings > Privacy. However, its release date is not yet known.
