In three months, starting on May 15, anyone who does not accept the new terms of service, which provide for the exchange of data with Facebook, will no longer be able to access the instant messaging application. But there are other really remarkable news

WhatsApp you change (yet). In three months, starting on May 15, anyone who does not accept the new terms of service, which provide for the exchange of data with Facebook, will no longer be able to access the instant messaging application; But there is much more important news on the horizon. In fact, a new tool called “Read Later” is being announced, which is about to land on WhatsApp (times are not safe) and will be used especially by the most distracted so as not to miss any message.

WhatsApp, the next news to read “calmly”

With one click you can bookmark a message you just received, and then it will be WhatsApp himself to send a reminder to the user, who once released from his commitments can safely reply to overdue messages. At this point we are inundated with WhatsApp messages, some are especially overwhelmed by group chats that during the day report in bursts of new messages. Now, instead of silencing, perhaps someone decides to mark some content to read later, with all the peace of mind in the world.

How to do? To activate this feature, you will need to keep clicking on a chat. Once the menu is open, you will need to click on the corresponding item, which will be inserted as soon as the developers approve the update. The contextual consequence is goodbye to the old voice in archived chats. There are still a few weeks to wait, then we will know more. As indicated on the WABetaInfo website, the functionality is still under development at the moment. For this reason, it will be some time before we see it reach users who belong to the beta testing program first. Only later will it be distributed to everyone else as well.

How to protect your privacy on WhatsApp

But that is not all. Privacy in WhatsApp It is a thorny subject: there is a little “trick” that allows you to have a little more. There are some little known settings that allow us to do just that, have more privacy. For example, removing notifications from the main screen. But you can also allow access to WhatsApp only to the real owner of the mobile phone, and only to him. All the time. How to do? There is a little-known setting that provides the ability to unlock the popular messaging app only for those who pass the fingerprint or facial recognition test: go to WhatsApp, click “privacy” and scroll down to find the dedicated category. By activating it, it will be possible to be practically sure that no one will access our WhatsApp again, even if we forget the phone at home or elsewhere.
