WhatsApp currently relays calls either through its own servers or by establishing a direct connection called peer-to-peer with whoever you are calling depending on network conditions. Peer-to-peer calls often provide better voice quality, but require both devices to know each other\u2019s IP addresses.<\/p>\n

Once you turn the new feature, known simply as "Protect IP address in calls" on, however, WhatsApp will always relay your calls through its own servers rather than establishing a peer-to-peer connection, even if it means a slight hit to sound quality. All calls will continue to remain end-to-end encrypted, even if they go through WhatsApp\u2019s servers, the company said.<\/p>\n

WhatsApp has been adding more privacy features over the last few months. In June, the company added a feature<\/a> that let people automatically silence unknown callers. It also introduced a \u201cPrivacy Checkup\u201d section to allow users to tune up a host of privacy settings from a single place in the app, and earlier this year, added a feature that lets people lock certain chats<\/a> with a fingerprint or facial recognition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
