WhatsApp privacy features for every woman

WhatsApp privacy features – WhatsApp has become an integral part of our lives as one of the most widely used messaging apps in India. However, with great power comes great responsibility, especially when it comes to protecting its users’ privacy, particularly women. Here are some of the most important WhatsApp privacy features that every woman should be aware of:

Choose who you talk to: WhatsApp allows you to block and report users who send you problematic messages, preventing them from contacting you in the future. This feature allows you to communicate with people who have your phone number in a safe and secure environment.

More control over your messages’ privacy: All messages, photos, videos, voice messages, documents, status updates, and phone calls are encrypted from end to end. The ‘disappearing messages’ feature deletes messages after 24 hours, seven days, or ninety days, and the ‘view once’ feature lets you share photos and videos without leaving a permanent digital record. For an added layer of security, you can also enable screenshot blocking for ‘view once’ messages.

Privacy settings for groups WhatsApp’s privacy settings and group invite system enable users to control who can add them to groups, thereby increasing user privacy and preventing people from adding you to groups you don’t want to be a part of. You can also leave a group privately without informing everyone.

Control your online data. You can control who sees your personal information, such as your profile photo, last seen, online status, about, status, and who sees them, by deciding who has access to your online information – everyone, contacts only, select contacts, or no one. When you’re online, you can also control who can and cannot see you.

Keep your account information private. When resetting and verifying your WhatsApp account, the Two-Step Verification feature adds an extra layer of security by requiring a six-digit PIN. This is useful in the event that a SIM card is stolen or the phone is compromised.

Women, and even men, can take control of their online experience by utilizing these privacy features.
