The all-new feature is still under development and disabled by default. However, it will soon make its way to the users according to the reports. The WhatsApp version 2.19.74 was spotted with this new feature. WABetaInfo reported that an in-app browser was spotted every time the user tries to open a link shared over the app. The feature will also help to detect unsafe pages using the “Safe Browsing” feature which was added to Android 8.1 last year. The users will be alerted when a page will be infected with malicious content.

The report stated that:

“If you choose to use the in-app browser when it will be available in future, you should not worry because WhatsApp or Facebook would not be able to access your search history because the feature uses an Android Application Programming Interface (API), so everything is managed by the system.”

The report has further added that:

“In the current stage of development, WhatsApp doesn’t allow to natively make screenshots or video captures while using the in-app browser: reasons are unknown and we don’t know if this will change before the release of the feature.”
