WhatsApp has added two new security measures for Indian users. The featuresof Flash Calls and Message Level Reporting will provide users more securityand control over how they use the popular messaging programme. Here’s abreakdown of what these qualities include.
Flash Calls is designed for new Android users or those who switch handsetsfrequently. People can choose to verify their phone number with anautomated call rather than an SMS in either instance. This simplifies theverification procedure and eliminates the requirement for consumers tofirst wait for an SMS. It also ensures a higher level of security.
Users can report a specific message received on WhatsApp using the MessageLevel Reporting function. They can do this by long-pressing the messagethey want to flag and then selecting either report or block the user. Thisis a feature that was previously discovered in the WhatsApp beta for iOS.
These new features are in addition to WhatsApp’s existing set of safety andprivacy safeguards. This includes the ability to hide a user’s profileimage, last seen, and other information from certain people, as well as theability to block someone who may be annoying and two-step verification(2FA).
