User privacy is essential for WhatsApp’s social messaging app, which updates its privacy settings occasionally. To enhance this, WhatsApp introduced a new feature in its latest Android beta build—the new enhancement concerns how users’ sent media is handled on the recipient’s device.
Traditionally, WhatsApp auto-saves incoming media like photos and videos to the user’s gallery. With this new privacy feature, you can prevent recipients from automatically saving the media you send them. This feature is different from that of disappearing messages.
In addition to restricting media auto-saving, this feature will block the ability to export entire chat histories from conversations where the privacy setting is enabled. However, it’s important to note that it won’t stop people from forwarding individual messages.
Another interesting feature aspect is that it disables Meta AI functionality within chats where “advanced chat privacy” is turned on. WhatsApp is making a strong move toward more granular privacy controls.
