WhatsApp Will Allow User To Hide Phone Number, Probably With Nicknames And Will Improve Groups

WhatsApp is making itself heard a lot in this period even if, it must be said, there are more functions it announces than those that are actually released.

One of the biggest differences between WhatsApp and Telegram is the method of registering and viewing accounts. WhatsApp is based only on phone numbers while Telegram also allows you to have a NickName, which is very useful for maintaining privacy.

Despite the end-to-end encryption and all the security systems integrated into WhatsApp, this application has a huge limit in terms of privacy: just create a group and add several participants to make the phone number of all members public, even those who don't know each other.

In fact, in a group, anyone who is not present among our contacts in the address book will still obtain our entire telephone number, which can be taken, saved and redistributed without control.

At the moment there is no way to hide your number but it seems that WhatsApp is finally working on it.

Another function in the works, together with the temporary groups we have already talked about, concerns the addition of the profile photo within the groups.

In order to make the conversation easier to follow, each chat bubble will be associated with the profile photo of the person who wrote that message.
