WhatsApp has introduced a new feature called ‘phone number privacy’ for Android and iOS users, which allows customers to hide their phone numbers in community groups. The feature is now available to beta users and will be made available to a larger audience soon.
WhatsApp, which is owned by Meta, has lately launched a new feature dubbed “phone number privacy” for both Android and iOS users. According to WABetaInfo, this new functionality is included in the beta release for both operating systems. After installing the most recent beta update, users will notice a new option labeled “phone number privacy” within the community announcement group info area.
According to reports, WhatsApp’s recently implemented “phone number privacy” function allows users to protect their privacy by disguising their phone numbers within WhatsApp communities. According to the research, by enabling this function, users can ensure that their phone numbers are only exposed to community managers and individuals who have stored their contact information.
Additionally, it allows you to hide entire phone digits from other participants in the conversation.
However, it is vital to remember that the phone number privacy function only applies to community members, while the community admin’s phone number will always be exposed.
This new function, according to the article, is currently available to some beta users who have installed the most recent WhatsApp upgrades for Android and iOS. This functionality is scheduled to be made available to a larger audience in the coming days.
In the meantime, WhatsApp has begun to roll out a tweaked UI for iOS users. According to WABetaInfo, an online organization that follows current and forthcoming WhatsApp features, iOS users can now see a translucent tab bar and navigation bar.
WhatsApp for iOS 23.13.80 has been designated as a compatible update. Although the App Store’s official changelog makes no mention of the interface, the source verifies that it is being broadly rolled out to users on the stable update.
