WhatsApp implemented new privacy options on the platform, among which is the function that allows you to hide the “online” status from other contacts when using the application, as well as silently leave groups.

The company has spent months developing new features focused on having greater control over conversations in different beta versions of the instant messaging platform.

Last May, this portal anticipated that in the beta version for Desktop an option had been introduced to exclusively notify the administrator or administrators of a group when a member of the group chat left it.

Months later, in July, it was verified in a screenshot of WhatsApp beta for iOS that in a future update it would be possible to limit who could see the connection status, within the Last Seen Settings section.

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, confirmed through his personal profile on Facebook the official implementation of these functions, which will soon be available to all users. “We will continue to create new ways to protect your messages and keep them as private and confidential as face-to-face conversations”.

Also this month, users will have the opportunity to choose who can see when they are “online.” To keep your online presence private, the company introduced the ability to select who can and cannot see when you’re online and using the app.

WhatsApp expanded the ability to create groups with up to 512 participants to its entire user base on Android, iOS and the desktop version of the instant messaging platform.

The application began this deployment last May among some beta participants, as several portals anticipated. Now, WhatsApp streamlined the process to take it to the entire user base of the platform.

Until now, the platform only allowed groups of up to 256 participants to be created. This new figure, 512, means doubling the number of members. In case they don’t get to it at first, the app allows you to add more from the group information section.

This new capability is expected to be available to its entire user base within 24 hours. To access it, it is necessary to install the latest update of the app available in the Play Store, App Store and TestFlight, and is not limited to the beta version.

The WhatsApp messaging application is currently working on the development of a new feature known as Community, with functions that extend to current chat groups.

The service included several references in the code of the latest beta version of its application, v2.21.21.6, to a new function known as Community, as indicated by the XDA Developers portal.

Although its operation is unknown, the lines of code show that users can create communities, join them, share links to join with other people and edit the description or information.

WhatsApp communities coexist with the current chat groups of the platform, since there are lines of code that refer to both functions and that they work together.

They also present a different operation to channels, since participants can perform actions such as changing the description if allowed in the community settings, something that only administrators can do in channels.

At the moment the Communities function is not operational in the WhatsApp beta and it is not present in the stable version of the messaging app.
