INTRODUCING ADVANCED CHAT PRIVACY: ENHANCED PROTECTIONS FOR YOUR MOST SENSITIVE CONVERSATIONS

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

WhatsApp has launched a new feature called Advanced Chat Privacy. This setting can be enabled on chats to add an additional layer of privacy by preventing users from exporting chats, auto-downloading media to their phone, and using messages for AI features. This feature comes in the wake of privacy concerns caused by the always-on Meta AI features.
