International Women’s Day is around the corner and WhatsApp believes everyone should have a safe space to communicate with their family and friends. Over the years we have launched numerous innovative features that ensure your privacy is protected at all times and people feel empowered to take control of their online safety.
Here’s a list of 5 privacy features that help build a private and safe messaging experience for everyone, especially women in today’s digitally connected world.
Control your online information and presence: On WhatsApp, you can control your personal details such as – Profile Photo, Last Seen, Online status, About, Status, and who sees it by selecting who gets access to their online information – everyone, contacts only, select contacts, or no one – empowering you to control your digital presence.
You choose who you talk to: WhatsApp is a private and safe space for people to communicate with their loved ones and people who have your phone number. However, at times when you receive problematic messages from unknown numbers, you can ‘block and report’ the account. Blocked contacts or numbers will no longer be able to call you or send you messages.
Safeguard your account privacy: On WhatsApp, you can add an extra layer of security to your account by enabling Two-Step Verification, which requires a six-digit PIN when resetting and verifying your WhatsApp account.
Not every message needs to last forever: For added privacy for your conversations, you can turn on disappearing messages that vanish within twenty-four hours, seven days or ninety days after the time they are sent, depending on the duration you select.
Secure your most private chats: Use Chat Lock to protect your most intimate conversations with a password, securing them in a separate folder. When someone messages you and you have that chat locked, no one can see those messages even if someone has your phone.
