Jakarta, Insertlive –
WhatsApp keeps developing the latest features to make it easier for its users.
In early 2023, WhatsApp launched a new feature that allows its users to send messages without internet.
This feature is also very useful if the Internet is down or blocked.
But keep in mind that this feature can only be used in emergency situations, not in day-to-day activities.
“When you can’t connect directly to WhatsApp, you can connect through the application through a proxy server set up by volunteers and special organizations whose job is to help users communicate securely and freely,” WhatsApp said on its blog as quoted. Enter Live.
They explained that using a proxy would not change the level of privacy and security WhatsApp provides for all users.
“Your private messages and calls will remain protected by end-to-end encryption. This means that your messages and calls are known only to you and the person you are communicating with and cannot be seen by anyone else, not even a proxy server, WhatsApp, or Meta,” they added.
So how to send messages on WhatsApp without Internet? That’s how:
