Seeing when friends or family are online helps us feel connected to one another, but we’ve all had times when we wanted to check our WhatsApp privately. This feature will start to roll out to all users this month.

Now, instead of notifying the full group when you are leaving, only the admins will be notified. We’re making it possible to exit a group privately without making it a big deal to everyone.

We love our group chats but some are not forever. This is all part of how we work to keep your conversations secure on WhatsApp, and we’re excited to offer new layers of protection. Personal calls and messages on WhatsApp are protected with default end-to-end encryption, and over the years we’ve continued to add features like disappearing messages that self-destruct, end-to-end encrypted backups when you want to save your chat history, two-step verification for added security and the ability to block and report unwanted chats.

Today, we’re introducing new privacy features that provide interlocking layers of protection and give you more control over your messages on WhatsApp.
