WhatsApp had presented several updates for improvement of users’ privacy and security of private data. The new changes are a privacy feature that does not allow others to copy text, photos or videos from chat and group chat, so that private content cannot be shared or misused without consent. Apart from this, WhatsApp has improved a tool like chat lock which provides users to secure private chats with passwords, fingerprints or face IDs. At the same time, the function of dispensing messages has also been improved, which gives more control over the users about how long their messages are seen automatically before disappearance.
