WhatsApp is releasing a privacy checkup feature on the new WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.9.15. As this feature is still rolling out, not all users will get to see the privacy checkup screen.
The purpose of this newly developed feature is to assist users in comprehending and handling their privacy settings more effectively. By utilizing this feature, users can easily review their privacy settings and maintain authority over who can access their information. To access the privacy checkup screen and review your privacy settings, you should first verify if the feature is accessible for your account by opening your privacy settings.
WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.9.15 is marked as a compatible update and as we said earlier, this feature is available for some lucky beta testers, and it is rolling out to even more users over the coming weeks.
If the feature is activated on your account, you will notice a fresh banner in your privacy settings, and you can commence the checkup by selecting the appropriate preferences. This segment allows you to manage who can contact you, add you to groups, and control your blocked contacts. Moreover, you can regulate your personal information, such as your profile photo, last seen and online status, and read receipts, by selecting the ideal audience. Additionally, you can fortify your chats and groups by configuring disappearing messages and turning on end-to-end encrypted backups.
In essence, the privacy checkup screen presents an overview of users’ account privacy settings and offers additional options to enhance privacy during conversations. It is a convenient tool to rapidly evaluate privacy settings.
The privacy checkup screen is presently available to beta testers who have installed the most recent WhatsApp beta update for Android via the Play Store ↗or from APKMirror ↗. It will be progressively released to a wider audience in the coming days.
