WhatsApp to roll out new privacy feature - Alternate Profile soon
By MYBRANDBOOK
WhatsApp will soon roll out a new privacy feature called 'Alternate Profile' to add one more layer of privacy for users. Currently, this feature is under development and is not available to beta testers. It will shortly be available to all users.
The main objective behind introducing Alternate Profile is to mask the original profile of users, as a stride to enhance the security and user experience. The feature will be beneficial for users who do not want to share their profile with everyone.
As per a news source, "A new alternate profile feature will be available within the privacy screen regarding our profile photo and it allows users to configure a different photo and name that will be visible to those contacts who cannot see their primary profile information. For example, if only your contacts can see your profile photo, this means that people outside your contact list cannot see it but they will be able to see your alternate profile picture. It’s worth noting that the same feature will also be accessible within your profile section."
Once launched, users can use the WhatsApp Alternate Profile feature by following the below steps:
• Open the WhatsApp application.
• Go to the settings>Privacy>Profile Photo
• Select 'My Contacts' so that only your contacts can see your primary profile photo.
• Now you will see an 'Alternate Profile'.
• Create an alternate profile like you did the original profile.
• Update the settings.
