If you have always wanted to be “invisible” in whatsapp only for specific people, but without affecting your entire schedule, the latest beta update of the app should solve your problems: the function of hiding the “last seen” only for some contacts is being tested.

This feature will allow users added to the “notorious” list to no longer see when you were last online. Currently, access can be restricted to only the numbers you have saved, or disabled for everyone.

“Last seen” indicates when the user last opened the app, and “reports” when the user checked their message list. Many turn off read receipts, but not this feature, mainly because they need it even if they have unwanted people in their contacts.

With the new update, the “who can see my last visit” menu will have another option: the current ones are “everyone”, “my contacts” and “no one” and will be supplemented with “my contacts except”, where the owner account, you can choose for whom you don’t want to appear.

As usual in WhatsApp’s privacy settings, you also won’t be able to find out when the people on your list were last online.
