WhatsApp is testing new privacy settings to let users disable their Last Seen, Profile Photo, and About status for specific contacts. The update is said to be coming to WhatsApp for Android and iOS users in the future.
WhatsApp is apparently updating its privacy settings by allowing users to disable their Last Seen, Profile Photo, and About status updates for specific contacts. At the moment, you can set these to either Everyone, My Contacts, or Nobody – so either anyone, or all your contacts can see your updates, or no one can. The update may help people who don’t want to show their last active status, profile picture, or current About status to a particular contact but still want others to see them. In contrast, the Groups and Status feature privacy settings already let you choose specific contacts who are not allowed to see your updates or add you to groups.
