WHATSAPP RECENTLY INTRODUCED ‘PROTECT IP ADDRESS’ FEATURE FOR CALLS

╰┈➤ WhatsApp is adding a new security feature known as 'Protect IP address in calls' to enhance user privacy during calls.

╰┈➤ This feature prevents malicious actors from obtaining users' location information and eavesdropping on their calls.

╰┈➤ 'Protect IP address in calls' option is currently available on the latest WhatsApp beta versions for Android and iOS.

╰┈➤ It works by routing calls through WhatsApp servers, adding an extra layer of security.

╰┈➤ Enabling this feature may lead to a slight decrease in call quality.

╰┈➤ Users can find the toggle for this feature within the 'Privacy' settings, under the 'Advanced' sub-section.

╰┈➤ WhatsApp reassures users that, even with this feature enabled, all calls are still protected by end-to-end encryption.

╰┈➤ While currently visible to select beta users, WhatsApp plans to make this feature available to all users in the future.
