WhatsApp new Protect IP Address in Calls Feature

The meta-owned messaging app is releasing a new privacy call relay feature that allows users to add an extra layer of security to their calls by protecting their IP address and location from malicious actors.

The meta-owned messaging app is adding a new section called “Advanced” within the Privacy settings screen.

The new protect IP address in call option is available in the new Advanced section making it harder for anyone in the call to infer your location by securely ralaying through WhatsApp servers.

As per the report, the call quality will be slightly affected by the privacy call relay feature because of the encryption and routing processes of your connection during a call through WhatsApp servers.

The new privacy call relay feature to protect the IP address in calls is currently rolling out for some beta testers.

The new Protect IP Address in Calls feature is available for Android beta version 2.23.21.12 and iOS beta version 23.21.1.70. But the meta-owned messaging app will soon release the new protect the IP address in calls feature for everyone on Android and iOS.
