JAKARTA - Recently, the WhatsApp messaging application suddenly presents a status that can be seen by its users. The status contains notifications regarding new features and a number of application updates.
This sudden occurrence from WhatsApp is one way for the company to keep their trusting WhatsApp.
WhatsApp also announced that they are maintaining user privacy. It seems that WhatsApp doesn't want to lose more users after the controversial occurrence that happened some time ago.
"WhatsApp cannot hear and read your personal conversations because everything is end-to-end encrypted", WhatsApp said in its status, Friday, January 29.
The WhatsApp status feature will disappear after 24 hours. The status can be in the form of text, photos, and videos. This status feature is a characteristic of WhatsApp. Meanwhile, end-to-end encryption is a security service that makes chats can only be read and heard by the recipient and sender of the message.
WhatsApp has updated its end-to-end encryption to a newer version. Through end-to-end encryption, it allows the user communication to be private.
"When it is end-to-end encrypted, your messages and calls are secured, so only you and the people you communicate with can read the messages or hear the calls, and nobody in between, not even WhatsApp", wrote WhatsApp on its official page.
Previously, WhatsApp issued a controversial new privacy rule. Many users switch to other applications because of this policy. As a result, WhatsApp has lost millions of its users who prefer other messaging applications, such as Signal and Telegram.
Initially, the policy would be implemented on February 8, then the company postponed its schedule to May 15. The postponement of the new privacy application is because the company thinks that many of its users do not understand and are still confused about the new policy.
WhatsApp's privacy policy caused anxiety among WhatsApp users because they were given no other choice but to choose to "agree" in order to continue using the messaging application.
Users are worried that their data is being used because WhatsApp "forces" them to share data with Facebook.
The sudden new privacy policy notification makes users prefer to use other messaging apps that are more secure. Signal and Telegram had a sharp increase in users last week.
