Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg has highlighted three major changes the company is rolling out on its WhatsApp messaging platform.
The messaging platform is now rolling out a similar feature for users’ online presence, with the ability to block their online status from everyone or to mimic their “last seen” settings.
Notably, the system is reciprocal. If a user hides information from a specific contact, WhatsApp will hide their information in return. WhatsApp users have been able to set messages to expire or viewed once before “self-destructing” for some time now.It is now rolling out a feature that will let users prevent screenshots of their view-once messages.
WhatsApp also previously sent a message to all participants notifying them if someone left the group chat. It is now rolling out an update that will drop the mass notification sent to group participants and instead inform only group admins when someone leaves a group.
