One of the most popular and used applications in Spain is WhatsApp, which allows you to send instant messages over the Internet. The Meta app is not only for chatting, but also offers other very useful functions.
It is more than a chat platform, it offers you multiple features to protect your privacy and enrich your user experience. With WhatsApp, you can enjoy the following advantages:
- End-to-end encrypted chats so no one can intercept messages.
- Calls and video calls.
- Share your location in real time.
- Custom stickers and emojis.
- Temporary messages that self-destruct.
However, One of the most interesting new features that WhatsApp has recently introduced is the option to hide the IP address during calls. After several months of testing and available in the beta version, it now reaches the stable version for all users.
It should be noted that this feature offers a higher level of privacy, aligning with the application’s philosophy of protecting user security.

- Open the WhatsApp application on your mobile device.
- Tap the icon Setting (the one shaped like a gear) in the lower right corner of the screen.
- Tap the option Privacy.
- Scroll down and tap Advanced.
- Activate the option Protect the IP address on calls.
By hiding your IP address, you prevent someone from being able to locate you through your internet connection. You also reduce the risk that a hacker can intercept or sabotage your calls.
Likewise, when using the WhatsApp servers To make calls, instead of a direct connection between devices, you can enjoy greater clarity and stability in communication.
To protect your privacy, WhatsApp has introduced this new feature to hide your IP address when you make calls.
It should be noted that In previous versions, calls were made directly between the devices, and each had to know the IP address of the other.
But now, all calls go through WhatsApp servers, which prevents it from being able to trace your IP address and find out your geographic location.
So, now you know, make the most of the app’s functions, and don’t hesitate to activate this new layer of privacy for your calls. Remember that safety is the priority, and Meta continues to evolve to offer you the best experience possible.
