WhatsApp, the popular messaging app, is introducing a new feature that strengthens users' privacy protection. The app now blocks the ability to take screenshots of profile pictures. The feature was spotted in February 2024 and seems to be tested extensively with a server-side update.
Despite being one of the most popular messengers in the world, WhatsApp has not been the fastest in providing new features. For example, the ability to send HD media files was not available on the app until August last year. That said, support for sharing high-definition images came first, followed by HD video a few days later. However, WhatsApp does not allow users to send HD images or videos by default. Instead, it requires users to tap the HD icon in the image editor and change the quality each time. But that might change soon, according to the latest beta version of WhatsApp for Android.
Meta continues to improve WhatsApp, announcing new features for channels on the app.
The new feature is called Secret Code. It will allow users to block any chat using a special security code. Such chats will not be displayed in the general list. To find them you will have to enter the correct code in the search. In case the user forgets the secret code, it will be possible to access the function in the privacy settings of the application and clear the list of blocked chats.
