WhatsApp has announced several updates, including the ability for users to check their messages without others knowing. The option to discreetly leave the group discussion will also please.
The app will soon let people control who can see when they’re online, prevent others from taking screenshots of certain messages, and leave groups without notifying all members.
WhatsApp has more than 2 billion active users worldwide. The app has long boasted that it uses end-to-end encryption, meaning that only the sender and receiver can see the content of a message. And like Signal and other private messaging platforms, it allows users to send messages that automatically disappear after a set amount of time. Now it comes with some more news.

Expected features protect privacy
During August, we will see a pair of new functions that improve privacy and user comfort. The first one will allow you to choose who can see when you are active. In this way, it will be possible to check the messages even without everyone knowing about your “online” status. The second will allow you to leave group chats silently without showing all members that you have done so.
WhatsApp is also preparing a feature to disable screenshots that will be available for one-time messages. The developers are currently testing the feature and it will be made available later.
