WhatsApp is making some minor changes to its privacy settings. New WhatsApp ‘last seen’ settings will make disabling privacy settings for specific contacts easier for you.
WABetaInfo announced this news, the main independent portal where you can discover news and real-time updates about WhatsApp, on Twitter.
The update will be on WhatsApp beta for Android and iOS.
Currently, the Facebook-owned messaging app has three privacy settings. These setting includes last seen, profile picture and about. And there are 3 options (everyone, my contacts, nobody) to manage these settings.
This means that, if you didn’t want a specific contact could see your last seen, you had to set the privacy setting of your last seen to “nobody”.
The new update WhatsApp ‘Last Seen’ will now include another option called ‘my contacts except…’, so you can finally enable your last seen back, and you can disable it for specific contacts.
This feature is already available in iOS, and soon WhatsApp will introduce it on Android too.
You can see “My contacts except” for last seen in ios, but soon it will be usable for other privacy settings as well, such as ‘profile picture’ and ‘about’.
