Social networking site WhatsApp is introducing three privacy tweaks into the messaging app to “provide even more layers of protection”, the company announced on Tuesday.
In a blog post published on its website, the Meta-owned messaging service stated that the new feature is to give its users more control over their conversations on the app.
WhatsApp will allow users to leave group chats without alerting members within such groups.
In a blog, it said, “We love our group chats but some are not forever. We’re making it possible to exit a group privately without making it a big deal to everyone. Now, instead of notifying the full group when you are leaving, only the admins will be notified. This feature will start to roll out to all users this month (August).”
