Tricks: The new WhatsApp function so that photos and videos do not eat up your mobile memory
Tricks. Temporary WhatsApp messages: how to activate self-destructing messages
Ever since WhatsApp announced end-to-end encryption, it has always bragged that it was unable to read the content of messages.
"Messages and calls are end-to-end encrypted. No one outside of this chat, not even WhatsApp, can read or listen to them. Tap for more information", can be read when opening a new chat or group.
However, that
is
already
changing
.
According to the WaBetaInfo portal,
is introducing a new function that would allow the application (owned by Facebook) to
access the content of the conversations if a user reports another
to WhatsApp.
To date, when a user decided to report another,
WhatsApp prepared a report based on different factors such as the existence of previous reports
, the account or the reports accumulated by a specific user.
The discretion when one user reported to another, which until now only depended on statistical parameters, includes access to chats by WhatsApp as a way of
verifying if the report is
based on the messages exchanged.
This is a feature that is being tested for some users.
Specifically, those who enjoy
update 2.20.206.3 of the WhatsApp beta
already have this function available according to WaBetaInfo.
This is how WhatsApp is testing the new system
Fortunately, as explained from the aforementioned portal, access by WhatsApp to the content of the latest chats between two or more users (
the function will also be available for groups
) can only be done if the person who has reported gives their
consent
.
As shown in a screenshot of the WhatsApp interface in English on the aforementioned portal, WhatsApp will display a title that reads: "Report this contact to WhatsApp?"
accompanied by a message that says "The most recent messages from this user will be sent to WhatsApp."
Access to WhatsApp for contacts and groups
Finally, the message includes a box in which the user can mark or unmark with a tick in which it says: "block contact and delete messages from this chat".
In the case of groups, specify that "the most recent messages from this group will be sent to WhatsApp".
From this function, which will also be available for WhatsApp for Business, it can be deduced that
when making the report, the consent
to allow WhatsApp access to the messages is included.
At the moment, this feature is only being tested by a group
of Android beta
users
.
For
IOS Beta
users it
will be available in the coming weeks
.
