WhatsApp has added new privacy options that let users choose who can see and who can’t see their profile images. Users can determine who can access their ‘last seen’ status, including the ‘About’ area, as part of the privacy restrictions.
Users could previously only restrict certain settings for Everyone, My Contacts, or Nobody. WhatsApp users can now choose to block settings using a new option called “My Contacts Except,” according to the latest privacy upgrades.
What the organization has to say
“To further safeguard your privacy online, we’re rolling out new choices to your privacy control settings,” WhatsApp said in a tweet announcing the new features. You may now control who can access your Profile Photo, About, and Last Seen status from your contact list.
What you should be aware of when it comes to privacy settings
