WhatsApp has released a new update via its TestFlight beta program, bringing the app version to 24.17.10.73. This update brings a useful feature for iOS users, allowing them to easily access the privacy control screen from a new entry point. The feature, which is already available for Android users, offers more control over privacy settings, allowing users to easily manage their information.
Privacy Control Is Now in Your Hands
The privacy checkup feature is designed to help users review and adjust their privacy settings. With the latest update, iOS beta users can now find a new entry point to open the privacy checkup screen. This new spot is at the bottom of the privacy settings menu. This placement makes the feature highly visible and accessible. It also allows users to quickly review who can see their profile photo, last seen status, and other personal information.
By tapping on the new entry point, users are guided through a comprehensive control. This control covers the most critical privacy settings. This allows them to configure their settings according to their own preferences. Such settings give the user more control over what data can be seen by others.

Advanced Control and Convenience
The key benefit of this new entry point is that it gives users a permanent way to access the privacy control feature, independent of periodic reminders. This is especially useful for users who frequently add new contacts or join new groups. They can now review and adjust their privacy settings at any time, without having to wait for WhatsApp to remind them.
This enhanced accessibility increases user convenience by making it easier for users to maintain the level of privacy they desire. Whether users want to adjust who can see their last seen status or hide their profile photo from certain people, the privacy control feature provides a quick and easy way to manage these settings.
Spreading to More Users
The new entry point for the privacy control feature is currently available to some beta testers who have installed the latest version of WhatsApp beta for iOS from the TestFlight app. WhatsApp plans to roll out the feature to more users in the coming days. This will allow more people to take advantage of this enhanced control over their privacy settings.
