WhatsApp is one of the biggest communication tools today, being one of the technological giants as the most used social network in Brazil. That’s why developers are always thinking about possibilities for new updates to improve the experience and connectivity between users.
The platform frequently innovates its features and introduces new forms of interactivity. But, along with any type of change, concerns about individual security and data security also become stronger.
In this sense, a new feature added has been a cause for concern among the public, especially among users more concerned about their privacy.
New WhatsApp update could compromise privacy
With the new update to version 2.23.11.19, users can now share their Messenger screen with others remotely. The goal is to be able to share information and content more fluidly in video calls, without the need to capture the screen of conversations.
Through the app itself, it will be possible to make calls with more professionalism and interaction between participants. However, the feature, which is currently in the testing phase in the beta version of WhatsApp, could bring with it great privacy issues.
How does the feature work and what are the risks?
To access this feature, you just need to have the app updated on your phone. During a call, the sharing option will appear as an icon on the toolbar located at the bottom of the screen.
Some users are already concerned and claim that caution is needed when using the tool, as screen sharing can reveal personal information. Therefore, it is important that the feature is only used with people you trust, so that no important data such as passwords or photos are leaked unintentionally.
