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.

This makes it easier for someone to erase evidence of their affair if their partner ever finds out.
WhatsApp also has a feature where users can see when their messages have been read.
This means that someone can tell if their partner has seen the message or not, making it easier for them to hide their affair.

Overall, WhatsApp's new feature could make it much easier for people to cheat on their partners without getting caught.
So be aware of this if you suspect your partner is being unfaithful.
