WhatsApp is now one step further to protect its users. The messaging platform will now hide everyone's online status from strangers by default. With the latest update, people who are not in your contacts will not get to know if you're online or when you were last online.
The other thing that WhatsApp want to protect its users from is commercial interest. WABetaInfo has revealed that third-party applications regularly abuse the online status of WhatsApp users. By adjusting the default settings, third-party apps can no longer perform these practices.
Besides this feature, WhatsApp had also released another one that lets users set the time frame for the messages to disappear. Users can set the messages to be auto-deleted within 24 hours, seven days or 90 days. If you wonder how it works, you can check out this article in which we explained the steps.
