In particular, users of the application will have the opportunity to set special PIN codes designed to protect against unnecessary correspondence.
The WhatsApp* company explained: “The innovation is currently being tested,” as reported by theTengri Life information portal.
Representatives of the company spoke about the features of the new security algorithms.
WhatsApp* users will now be able to hide their phone numbers from those they are communicating with for the first time.
This feature will allow you to remain anonymous and protect all important contact information.
It is emphasized that the service can be implemented in relation to those contacts that are not saved in the device’s phone book.
