WhatsApp is working on an implementation new privacy options and after months of testing development versions of its mobile applications are now available to everyone.
WhatsApp users will be able to from now on Restrict who can see data such as your profile picture, information, and “last online” status.. You can find all these options in the privacy section of the Android and iOS application settings.
This increases the granularity of WhatsApp’s capabilities for contacts and service users in general, not for WhatsApp itself, which owns a company like Meta (Facebook), which is unreliable in terms of its users’ data.
Be that as it may, WhatsApp is number one in its category, at least in terms of number of users and read West in this part of the world, and as they assume «now you can choose who can see your profile picture, information and status from your contact list “Last online”. Click on this link for more information.
The message points to the corresponding WhatsApp page, but you can save it because it’s much simpler: from now on you can choose whether “Last time”, “profile photo” or “information”. everyone can see them, your contacts, your contacts except specific contacts or no one.
They lacked the ability to “allow anyone to see this information except…” because there will certainly be people who will have many contacts, but will prefer to share certain data with only some of them, but this is how the scope remains. And with what it cost …
Of course, there will always be a trick to get around this or that limitation, but that’s a different story.
