WhatsApp improves privacy and accessibility in profile photos, call times and voice notes – Prensa Libre

A new version of WhatsApp intended for Android users will allow to hide their profile picture, as well as the connection time from certain and specific contacts.

According to information published in WABetaInfo, the new beta version of Google Play will allow greater protection for users as part of a strategy implemented by the company for a year in previous beta versions of Android and iOS.

Before that, the app was only giving permission to choose the states option. In order to achieve this, a privacy menu should be displayed that shows the variants of display: “My contacts”, “My contacts except…” and “Shared with…”

But this year WhatsApp has expanded its privacy capabilities so that people who want to try the option to block photos or hours of communication can download the beta version of WhatsApp for Android 2.22.8.9.

In the WhatsApp settings menu, you have to tap Account, then Privacy and check who can see the information. This will happen for the Profile Picture, Last Connection Time, Information, and Status options.

On the other hand, the app has also implemented a new functionality that allows for better listening to audio notes.

The main feature is that the audio can be played outside the chat so that people can do different tasks at the same time and they can even reply to other messages.

On the other hand, you can also record and pause an audio message, as well as resume it when you want to continue. In addition, you can listen to audio notes before sending them as if they were drafts.
