WhatsApp Hacked: How to Protect Yourself
According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is sharing new privacy measures with users. A Twitter user tweeted a screenshot of a support message he received from the app, explaining why unknown contacts can no longer see your last seen and online status.
“To improve the privacy and security of our users, we’re making it harder for people you don’t know or haven’t chatted with to see your last seen online presence on WhatsApp,” the support message reads.
“This doesn't change anything between you and your friends, family, and businesses you know or have previously messaged.”
