Whatsapp For Android Gets Much Needed Privacy Features

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Whatsapp for Android is going to get a new update which gives it some critical privacy features. Whatsapp’s privacy settings on Android have been very rudimentary and anyone who had your mobile number in their phonebook could access your display pic, your status and the dreaded ‘last seen’ notification!

The new build of the app lets you control these settings just like the iOS applications. One wonders why the company took so much time to introduce this to Android users.

The update has still not been rolled out to users via the Google Play store at the time of writing. You can however download the updated .apk file from Whatsapp’s website. Once installed, go into Account > Privacy and make changes to the settings for your Last Seen notification, profile picture and status. You can set them as visible to Everyone, your contacts or nobody. If you set ‘Last seen’ as nobody, you will also not be able to access that data from any of your contacts.

While the ‘last seen’ notification might have been an irritation to many, the fact that any person with your phone number could get access to your photo and status is a little concerning. While Whatsapp is unusually privacy conscious when it comes to advertising, this is one area they could have improved on much earlier.

I have given the download link below. You can also wait for the update to show up on the Google Play store.
