WhatsApp new features

New features for WhatsApp have just been announced by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. These include features which will mean a quiet exit is suddenly possible.

Which contacts will you hide from, and what does that tell you about them? You can choose between everyone seeing you, nobody and the enticing option of “My contacts except…” So much is implied in those dot-dot-dots. This is a definite improvement and it means you can take your leave without causing offence or raising eyebrows. Right now, when you’re done, you exit the chat and everybody sees that you’ve left.

We all know group messages can be irritating, especially with all the 'good morning' images and forwarded videos but we all hesitate in exiting groups because we do not want to offend others. The messaging app will now allow its users to choose whom they want to share their 'Online' status with.

The three news features include, the ability to hide your online status, exit WhatsApp groups silently and block screenshots.

Secondly, users will be able to leave group chats silently, without WhatsApp showing a ‘person left the group’ alert on the chat. Thirdly, the ‘view once’ messages allow users to send media files that are only viewable once.

This was part of Meta’s new trilogy of privacy features that included the option to set who can see if you are active among the two mentioned above.
