WhatsApp enhances group safety with new context card feature

WhatsApp is stepping up its safety features with the introduction of a new context card aimed at improving user security in group messaging. This feature provides users with critical information when they are added to a group by someone unknown, including who added them, the creation date of the group, and the group’s creator.

The context card helps users decide whether to stay in or leave a group, especially useful for those who have recently met new contacts or groups and haven’t saved their information yet. This addition bolsters WhatsApp’s existing safety measures such as silencing unknown callers, chat lock, in-app privacy check-ups, and group addition controls.

For users in markets like Siliguri, where WhatsApp is a primary communication tool, the context card is a welcome enhancement. Local users value the additional security, which aids in maintaining privacy and safety amid frequent digital interactions. This new feature aligns with Siliguri’s growing tech-savvy population, emphasizing the importance of secure digital communication.
