But ever since WhatsApp has launched Protect IP address in Call, the IP address will remain hidden during a WhatsApp call and the caller will not be able to be tracked.
Cyber crime will get a boost
Due to this feature of WhatsApp, criminals will be far away from the reach of the police, because till now when a call was received on WhatsApp, its IP address was easily available.

But now the police will have to seek help from WhatsApp to find out the IP address, which will take a lot of time and criminals will take advantage of this.
