WhatsApp is set to introduce a new strict security mode aimed at enhancing user protection against cyber threats. This feature will automatically adjust privacy settings to the highest security levels, limiting media downloads from unknown contacts and silencing calls from unrecognized numbers. Additionally, users will receive notifications for encryption code changes, and two-step verification will be enabled by default to prevent account theft. These updates reflect WhatsApp’s commitment to improving user safety and privacy amid increasing concerns over online security, particularly for high-risk users, thereby reinforcing trust in its communication platform.
