Media sharing is one of the best features offered by WhatsApp where you can send high resolution photos and videos to your friends and contacts on WhatsApp. Privacy has been the critical factor for WhatsApp’s success where the end-to-end encryption keeps all the chats private. Even the media files shared including photos and videos are end-to-end protected which makes it a safer platform for such transfers. But are you aware that WhatsApp allows blurring photos before you send them forward to your friends and contacts. This is an extra protection layer that enhances the privacy of a user while transferring images. And this feature is not just limited to the mobile app but also WhatsApp’s desktop version.
