WhatsApp Unveils Advanced Chat Privacy: A New Shield Against Nosy Friends!
WhatsApp’s new Advanced Chat Privacy adds a shield to conversations, blocking participants from exporting chats or auto-downloading media. It’s like giving your chat a secret identity! But beware, screenshot superheroes are still at large! Perfect for those group chats where you mostly know everyone… mostly.
Hot Take:
WhatsApp’s new privacy feature is like a digital chastity belt for your chats—just remember, it’s useless against old-school screenshotting voyeurs. Meanwhile, Meta gets slapped on the wrist by the EU for their “pay or consent” advertising model. Looks like the European Commission isn’t a big fan of the ‘data diet’ Meta’s been serving.
Key Points:
- WhatsApp has rolled out Advanced Chat Privacy to block chat content sharing.
- The feature stops exporting chats, auto-downloading media, and AI message usage.
- Screenshots and manual media downloads can still bypass this privacy shield.
- The EU fined Meta €200 million for violating the Digital Markets Act.
- Meta claims the EU is unfairly targeting successful American businesses.
