Thanks to the messaging platform’s latest update, we can all breathe a little easier knowing that we can hide our online status from prying eyes.
Under South African law, WhatsApp group admins could be held legally liable for other users’ posts.
An incoming WhatsApp update brings a whole host of new features designed to make us less anxious about who sees what, when, and how.
Sometimes you just want to pop onto WhatsApp without being bothered. The messaging app seems to have considered this.
One change is the launch of a ‘reactions’ feature, similar to that found on Facebook and Facebook Messenger.
South Africa’s Information Regulator isn’t chuffed about WhatsApp’s new privacy policy, and is considering litigation about the matter.
May 15 is just around the corner, and if you choose not to accept WhatsApp’s new privacy policy, how you use the app will begin to change dramatically.
These are not yet available to the general public, but can be expected in updates further down the line.
