WhatsApp introduces flash call and message level reporting. Know the features

WhatsApp Flash call and message level reporting is introduced. These new features were added for Indian users on the Android platform. The instant messaging app owned by Meta (Facebook) says it will make the platform more secure and safe. WhatsApp has been continuously updating itself to provide new in-app features and controls. Feedback option is one of them. Flash call can be useful for the person who changes his/her smartphone frequently. Reporting is flagging messages if necessary.

Currently, WhatsApp verifies via an SMS. This new flash will add another level of security for call authentication. Sends us a verification SMS to the registered mobile number when we change the phone or uninstall and reinstall the instant messaging app. Now the user will also get a system generated call to verify.

Message level reporting is for flagging anything inappropriate. User can long press that message to pick up and flag it. You can block or report the sender in this case. These features are only available for Android users and will soon be rolling out to the Apple ecosystem, though the company hasn’t given a timeline.

WhatsApp is also working on many other features like audio fast forwarding and status notification controls etc. Reportedly, WhatsApp is working to take privacy to the next level.
