User can personalize their privacy settings to some extent, because even if one turns off the read receipt feature (blue ticks), others can still get that information with a few clicks. Treasured conversations can be saved and annoying contacts blocked or muted.

Summary | Two Swiss high school students adapted the antique myth of Aeneas and Dido into a WhatsApp chat. A school assignment for their Latin class asked students to adapt ancient stories into other media. The two students reinterpreted the storyline as a WhatsApp chat between Dido and Aeneas in Latin with a lot of dramatic language (e.g. indicate shouting with all capital letters or word length with letter repetitions, and communicate emotions with emojis).
