Instant messaging app, Whatsapp, has introduced three new features aimed at helping protect information on the app.
The new update comes with three main features; users will be able to leave group chats more quietly, and set specific controls on who can see when a user is online.
Another new feature will also allow a user to block people from taking screenshots when messages are sent using the “View Once” feature, which means they will disappear after being seen.
The Meta-owned messaging platform, on Tuesday, said the new features were aimed to keep improving the privacy around online conversations.

Currently, when a user leaves a group chat, a notification appears at the bottom of the conversation telling others in the group who has left.
Also, while users are already able to turn off a feature which tells others if they have read a message, it has not been possible until now to hide that a user was online and using WhatsApp.
“Rolling out soon will be a feature, online presence, that lets you decide who can see when you’re online.
“Another feature we’ll be launching soon is built-in screenshot blocking for your view once photos and videos,” WhatsApp tweeted on its verified Twitter handle on Tuesday.
