According to IOL, WhatsApp's new feature will allow people to send messages directly to their contacts without using the traditional SMS or email services. 

This means that people can send messages without their partner knowing, making it easier to hide an affair.

The new feature also allows users to delete messages after they have been sent, making it even harder for someone to be caught cheating.

This means that even if the partner suspects something is going on, they won't have any proof. 

WhatsApp also allows users to send disappearing messages, which will delete after a certain amount of time.

WhatsApp also has a feature where users can see when their messages have been read.
