Instant messaging service WhatsApp has always placed a high priority on user privacy and has been steadily adding tools to support it. According to recent reports, the platform is working to improve secure user conversations, including those that are closed for linked devices.
Extending privacy measures
As per the recent reports from WABetaInfo, it was revealed that WhatsApp plans to extend its privacy measures. Earlier, the platform introduced locked chats, which further enabled the users to protect conversations with a secret code on their primary devices.
Now, WhatsApp is aiming to bring this feature to linked devices as well.
Synchronized Protection
With this upcoming feature, users can create a secret code on their primary device to access locked chats on the linked devices, which will further ensure that sensitive conversations will remain hidden across all platforms, which enhances privacy and convenience for users.
Improving privacy across platforms
By implementing locked chats for linked devices, the instant messaging platform aims to significantly improve privacy protection. This measure will further ensure that the protected conversations will remain inaccessible to unauthorized users, which enhances security across various platforms.
International payments feature in development
In further addition to privacy enhancements, WhatsApp is developing an international payment feature. The tipster AssembleDebug has further shared the insights which suggests that the Indian users will soon be able to conduct international payments with the help of the application which has been used with the Unified Payments Interface (UPI).
Manual activation and customization
As per the leaked information, users will need to manually enable the international payments feature and further choose the duration for which they wish to keep it active. This customization option will further provide the users with control over their payment preferences within the application.
