Privacy plays a very important role when operating in technological environments and in WhatsApp is no less worth it either. The application has developed a series of updates aimed at improving many aspects and, as we have learned, it is preparing a function that will help improve privacy when using WhatsApp.
Privacy improvements in WhatsApp
One of the problems, also increasing, is the reception of messages from unknown users that lead us to try to fall into scams or scams. According to the specialized media WABetaInfo, some Beta app users receive update which prevents an unknown number from sending us messages, all with the aim of improving privacy.
Now, you might think that this function is very restrictive, because very often we receive a message from a number that we do not have in the directory and it is someone who wants to contact us, for example, an old friend or someone we have just met. The app thought about this because blocking these types of messages from an unknown number will represent a high volume.
This means that it is when we receive several messages in a row from an unknown number. If we enable this optionWhatsApp will understand that this is a real bombardment that forces us to read and respond to these messages. In the screenshot you can see how this feature looks on an Android device.
Personally, I think it is an excellent measure and I think of those people who are harassed by unknown numbers, either by former partners or, in the academic field, by those who resort to intimidation and harassment to show the worst of their baseness.
This update is not yet available, but It can now be used by some users who are using the app in beta phase. For this reason, it is understood that WhatsApp will launch this privacy improvement in a short period of time, and it will be the user who can activate it whenever they want.
As soon as WhatsApp releases this update, we will report on the new feature and explain all the details. A more than interesting improvement in confidentiality, because these are situations that usually occur quite frequently and cause a lot of problems for the person who suffers from them.
