The first innovation is in taking screenshots. From now on , screenshots will be blocked for messages sent using the view once feature .
When users want to take screenshots in such messages, if screenshots are blocked; They will see a message saying “Screen capture is blocked to increase privacy. Quietly Leaving Groups When you left the group, all group members could see it. After the improvements made within the scope of WhatsApp privacy updates , users can now leave the group silently. Only group admins will be able to get information about it.
