A proxy feature for Android, iOS, and desktop devices was just introduced by WhatsApp. Users are now able to access the messaging app even if their local internet connection is down or blocked thanks to the new feature.

WhatsApp encourages users to privately exchange these proxy addresses with users who are unable to access the platform directly.
It should be noted that using WhatsApp via a proxy connection does not jeopardise the security and privacy features provided by the meta-owned platform. Users will be able to make end-to-end encrypted calls, messages, and video calls in order to establish a secure connection. All information will remain private between users and the person they are communicating with and won’t be visible to proxy servers, WhatsApp, or Meta. However, you need to be aware that using a third-party proxy will give the proxy provider access to your IP address. WhatsApp does not provide outside proxies.
