WhatsApp brings newer innovations

WhatsApp is one of the most used instant messaging apps worldwide WhatsApp collects a lot of data about you, such as your phone number, the information about your location, your user habits, and your contacts. WhatsApp is improving its features day by day with the demand of time. WhatsApp web and multi device support features were rolled out by the company some time ago and these features are proving to be very useful for the users.

Over the years, many users were requesting to be able to hide their online status. There may be different reasons why people want to use WhatsApp in stealth mode: for example, some users want to use WhatsApp without being disturbed by other people, or they feel stalked by someone. Now it is available as a concept to disable the online status last year.

WhatsApp is finally listening to user feedback by developing a feature that lets users choose who can see when they are online on WhatsApp, available in a future update!

It is important to note the Flip side of WhatsApp, someone can also read your messages with the WhatsApp web or multi-device support facility. These are the features with which you can use WhatsApp on more than one device.

In WhatsApp web, the primary device needs an internet connection but in multi device support facility, there is no need for an internet connection in the primary device.

If someone once gets your phone, they can use your WhatsApp without your permission.

Although WhatsApp is currently free from ads, there are rumours that WhatsApp may exchange information with Facebook for advertising purposes in the future. WhatsApp itself has contradicted this prediction, but it’s good to be aware of the fact that this could be a possibility.
