The ability to hide your online status from certain contacts is finally coming.
WhatsApp is working towards introducing a new option that will give users greater control over who is able to see whether they are online or not. In an update to the privacy settings for the Android and iOS versions of its app, WhatsApp is testing new visibility options. At the moment, there are three options relating to online visibility. It is possible to display when you were «Last seen» to Everyone, My Contacts or Nobody. But the latest beta version of the app shows that this is going to be changing. WABetaInfo has spotted new privacy settings for the visibility of the «Last seen» data that notifies people of when you were last online. The new options offer far greater control than is currently available, giving users finer-grained control over visibility.
