WhatsApp is enhancing user privacy and security by developing a secret code feature for desktop users, adding an additional layer of protection to locked chats. This feature, which prompts users to enter a secret code to access their list of locked chats on WhatsApp Web, ensures confidentiality, especially for users who share desktop devices or work in shared environments. The initiative underscores WhatsApp's commitment to safeguarding sensitive conversations and reinforcing privacy measures. Meanwhile, Google's forthcoming mobile messaging system in India poses a significant challenge to WhatsApp's stronghold in enterprise communication. Partnering with Vodafone Idea, Google plans to introduce Rich Communication Service (RCS) messaging for Indian businesses, potentially reshaping the messaging landscape in the country. This move is anticipated to influence other major telecom players like Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel.
