The issue of privacy has been recurrent in the WhatsApp and its users. This is a certainty that everyone wants to have and this has been reflected in many of the improvements and novelties that have been presented.
In continuation of these developments, WhatsApp now brings another novelty. It is preparing yet another improvement, to give the desktop version a new layer that will give more protection to the conversations and privacy of WhatsApp users.
As with operating systems, WhatsApp users will soon have access to a screen lock. This will have the same principle of guaranteeing data protection, in this case the conversations and files received.
The novelty is now being developed and prepared to be tested by users of beta versions. From what can already be seen, this protection will guarantee that access to Meta's messaging service happens only to those who are authorized.
To guarantee this access, users will have to define and use a security password. This will be asked whenever the user opens the app to use it, and it is likely that they will have greater control over when and how this password will be requested.
BUT: Whatsapp. The app will allow you to search for stores and other businesses nearby.
Naturally, this WhatsApp novelty should be optional and only those who so wish can activate it. It is also expected that this password will be stored locally and only accessible within the system and not the messaging service itself.
In fact, this improvement is not new to WhatsApp. The version for Android and iOS has been available for 3 years, always with the same principle of protecting user data. It may seem like a simple measure, but it guarantees additional protection for this service.
This is yet another important improvement for WhatsApp and its users. It brings an additional layer of protection and privacy that is necessary and that guarantees that access to conversations is only made by those who are really authorized.
