WhatsApp works in a new “incognito mode” that hides your online status. This feature allows users to use the app without the knowledge of their friends or contacts.
According to WABetaInfo, who first discovered the feature, there may be several reasons why people want to use WhatsApp privately: For example, some users want to use WhatsApp without being disturbed by others or feeling like someone is following them.
WABetaInfo discovered the feature in beta for iOS, but says it is also available for Android and Desktop.
“Unfortunately, this feature is under development, so we don’t know the details when it will be available,” WABetaInfo said in a blog post.
WhatsApp introduced another feature last month that allows users to take their message history with them when switching from Android to iPhone.
WhatsApp users can securely transfer app data to the iPhone using the “Transfer to iOS” app available in the App Store.
The switch to iOS is already used to replace other phone data including contact information, photos and videos, but has been updated to include WhatsApp data.
