Meta’s chief executive Mark Zuckerberg has announced new privacy features for WhatsApp users.
The features will enable them leave groups silently, block screenshots on view once messages and control who can see their online status.
Currently, the popular messaging app currently alerts all members of a group chat to someone leaving or being removed by default, which may be embarrassing or annoying for users who value their privacy.
WhatsApp says it will start rolling out the features globally this month.
WhatsApp has made a handful of changes this year, including adding emoji reactions, introducing a way to speed up or slow down voice messages and also letting Android users transfer their chat history to iPhone.
