WhatsApp has added new privacy tools intended to keep people’s personal information safe. The update lets people choose whether that information can be shown to everyone, only people in your contacts, everyone in your contacts apart from specific people, or nobody at all. Now the app includes new tools that mean users can control who can see that information. WhatsApp said it had added the new features to “further protect your privacy online”. By default, much of that information is shown to everybody. That means that people can use the “last seen” setting to seen when people were last on their phone, for instance. Will the new feature really help to safeguard privacy ?
