WhatsApp’s new Alternate Profiles feature: Enhanced privacy and versatility
In a relentless pursuit of user convenience and customization, WhatsApp, the popular instant messaging app owned by Meta, is unveiling an exciting new feature known as ‘Alternate Profiles.’
This forthcoming feature promises to provide users with more control over their profiles, enabling them to maintain distinct identities within the app.
The Alternate Profiles feature, currently in development, allows users to create additional profiles linked to the same WhatsApp account.
This innovation isn’t about creating separate accounts but rather about crafting specific personas for different sets of contacts.
While WhatsApp already offers options to conceal certain details from specific users, like profile images or last seen status, the Alternate Profiles function takes this a step further.
With this new feature, you can establish a separate profile name and profile image that is visible exclusively to the contacts you select.
For instance, if you use WhatsApp for both personal and business purposes, you can now maintain a professional name and image within the app.
This allows you to seamlessly manage your personal and work life within a single WhatsApp account.
The discovery of this feature was made by WABetaInfo, although it is not yet available to beta users.
As per their findings, ‘Alternate Profiles’ empowers users to decide who sees their profile photo and name, granting them the ability to maintain distinct profiles for different circles within their network.
This feature is set to bring a new level of privacy and versatility to WhatsApp.
Users can keep their primary profile visible only to a select group of contacts, ensuring a tailored experience for different aspects of their lives.
With this innovative addition, WhatsApp aims to empower users with greater control over how they present themselves in the digital realm.
Whether for personal, professional, or any other purpose, the Alternate Profiles feature promises to make WhatsApp an even more versatile tool for its millions of users.
As users await the rollout of this feature, WhatsApp continues to demonstrate its commitment to enhancing user experiences, providing more options for customization.
At the same time, it is maintaining its status as one of the leading instant messaging apps in the world.
Stay tuned for updates on when this exciting new feature becomes available to WhatsApp users worldwide.
