Whatsapp introduced two new safety features for users to keep their account secure
WhatsApp has introduced two new safety features in India – flash calls and message level reporting.
Flash calls
The new “Flash call” enables Android users who are installing or re-installing WhatsApp on their devices to verify their phone number with an automated call instead of an SMS. WhatsApp claims that this is a much safer option, given that it takes place all from within the app.
WhatsApp has recently also released features that help enhance the user experience like vanishing messages, View once messages, and a new feature under testing that will allow you to hide your last seen from specific people in your contact list.
Message Level Reporting
It allows users to flag particular messages on the platform. All they need to do is, long-press a specific message, they can then choose to report or block the user. Users can simply long-press a particular message to either report or block a user.
Other safety features introduced by WhatsApp include the ability to control who sees a user profile photo, last seen, about, and Status. It also enables users to block accounts if required. WhatsApp also offers two-step verification to users to add an extra layer of security. In this year, the company introduced disappearing messages and View Once as well.
