“At WhatsApp, privacy is in our DNA, and we will never stop building new ways to protect your personal conversations. We believe messaging and calling should always be as private and secure as having face-to-face conversations. Kind of like if two people were talking and no one else was around” said WhatsApp in an announcement on Twitter.

It is also introducing a feature where one can leave or exit a group without alerting the people in the group. Previously when a participate left or was removed from a group it would alert all members. 

“We love our group chats but some are not forever. We’re making it possible to exit a group privately without making it a big deal to everyone. Now, instead of notifying the full group when you are leaving, only the admins will be notified. This feature will start to roll out to all users this month,” said WhatApp.

WhatsApp will also include a feature where one can choose who can see whether they are online. 

“Seeing when friends or family are online helps us feel connected to one another, but we’ve all had times when we wanted to check our WhatsApp privately,” said WhatsApp.
