US Edition‘Totally False’: WhatsApp Chief Rejects Claims Meta Can Read Private Messages
- On Tuesday, WhatsApp unveiled Strict Account Settings in New Delhi, a feature targeting billions of users with a global rollout planned in the coming weeks.
- Concerns about targeted surveillance and past Pegasus infections prompted WhatsApp to protect journalists, activists and public-facing individuals from rare, highly sophisticated cyberattacks after battling NSO Group.
- The settings bundle existing controls into a one-tap toggle that blocks media files and attachments from unknown senders, disables link previews, and silences calls from unknown contacts.
- For high-risk users, the setting offers stronger safeguards at the cost of convenience and WhatsApp says it's not intended for regular users; people should update the app as the rollout continues in the coming weeks.
- The move positions WhatsApp alongside Apple and Google in extreme protections, following Apple’s Lockdown Mode introduced in 2022 and Android’s Advanced Protection Mode last year.
