WhatsApp has announced that it is now rolling out the option to enable "Advanced Chat Privacy" in both direct chats and chat groups, which it says will enhance privacy by preventing other users from harvesting content from within the messaging app.
In a blogpost made to its website, WhatsApp says that when enabled, the feature will block others from exporting chats, auto-downloading media to their devices, and using messages for artificial intelligence (AI) features.
