WhatsApp will now hide your IP address in the Calls
In its ongoing efforts to bolster user privacy, WhatsApp is unrolling a fresh update specifically designed to shield your IP address while making calls. This upgrade is presently limited to a select group of beta testers via the Google Play Beta Program under the new version number 2.23.18.15.
This update of WhatsApp brings a notable addition to its calling features—enhanced privacy settings. Users will be able to mute notifications and call tabs more efficiently. But the standout feature is the added layer of protection within the privacy call settings.
This new feature focuses on keeping your privacy safe. It makes it harder for others to find out where you are when you’re on a call. WhatsApp servers securely relay the user’s connection, effectively masking the IP address. This added security might slightly impact call quality, but the trade-off is an extra layer of protection against unwarranted and illicit tracking based on your call data.
While the update is still under development, it is expected to roll out to the broader public soon. If you’re keen to get early access, you might consider signing up for the beta testing program.
