WhatsApp now lets you hide your location during calls; what it means, how to use and more

WhatsApp, the popular messaging app, has announced a new privacy feature that allows users to hide their location during calls. This feature, dubbed “Protect IP Address in Calls,” is currently rolling out to Android and iOS users.

When you make calls on WhatsApp, normally your device’s IP address is visible to the person you’re talking to. This might reveal information like your location. But now, WhatsApp has a new feature that hides your IP address during calls. So, your calls go through WhatsApp’s servers, keeping your IP address private. This adds an extra layer of privacy.
