As part of the campaign, WhatsApp aims to educate users about privacy features via short films. For those unaware, WhatsApp offers multiple built-in layers of privacy which include:
Leave groups silently: The feature enables users to exit a group privately without having to notify everyone.
Choose who can see when you’re online: For the times you want to keep your online presence private, WhatsApp is introducing the ability to select who can and can’t see when you’re online.
Screenshot blocking for View Once messages: WhatsApp is now allowing screenshot blocking for View Once messages for an added layer of protection. This feature is being tested and will be rolled out to users soon.
Default E2EE: The app offers default end-to-end encryption so that no one, not even WhatsApp, except your intended recipient, can see or hear your private personal conversations.
Encrypted backups: WhatsApp offers the ability to backup your chat history with end-to-end encryption so it’s secure and only accessible to you with a password or encryption key. No other messaging service at our scale provides this level of additional security for your messages.
Disappearing messages: The feature allows users to set the durations for disappearing messages: 24 hours, 7 days, or 90 days so users can send photos and videos that disappear after they have been opened.
Block and report: Users can choose to stop receiving messages and calls from certain contacts by blocking them and reporting them if they are sending problematic content or spam.
Two-step verification: The two-step verification feature gives users the option to set a unique six-digit PIN that can be used when registering their phone number with WhatsApp again.
