Having lost a significant number of users to its competitors such as Telegram and Signal in recent years, WhatsApp said that some steps will be taken to improve the user experience in 2022. In this direction, we have seen some innovations such as data transfer between operating systems. Now it’s unveiling new security and privacy steps one after the other. Accordingly, WhatsApp has started testing the recovery feature for deleted messages.
WhatsApp took action for deleted messages! can be brought back
WhatsApp shared a new feature for deleted messages with beta users on the Android side. Accordingly, after deleting a message, there will be an undo button on the right side of the notification that appears at the bottom of the screen.
However, it is stated that the undo will only be valid until this notification is gone, that is, it will be possible for a few seconds. Therefore, we will not be able to retrieve messages that we have previously deleted in the conversation history.
Apple blocks Telegram’s “revolutionary” update
A new “emoji” crisis broke out between Telegram and Apple. According to Telegram CEO, Apple has been delaying the emoji update for two weeks.
It is not yet clear when this feature will be shared with all users. But it is expected to come with other privacy options being tested. Of course, if you want to test and experience early, you can sign up for the beta program.
3 more privacy features are coming!
Today, 3 new privacy features have emerged that will be introduced to its users by WhatsApp in the near future. The first is about groups. Now users will be able to leave groups, if they wish, only to be notified to the administrator. So when other members want to see the people who left, they will have to look at the members.
Secondly, we will be able to hide that we are online. For example, many people conduct some of their work through messaging platforms such as WhatsApp. But when he opens the application, everyone sees that he is online and communicates with the illusion that he is available.
Thanks to the new future privacy feature, you will now be able to enable the people you specify on WhatsApp to see your online status. Think of it like choosing who can see your story on Instagram. So you can add them to the blacklist without your friends or family noticing.
Finally, it is stated that the feature that has been in Telegram for a long time will come. Thanks to this innovation, you can now be sure that the images you send will not reach anyone other than that person. For example, when you send a photo, even if you set it to see it for a short time, the other party may take a screenshot. But now you can share with peace of mind as the screen blocking feature will come.
