WhatsApp adding option to hide 'Last Seen' status from specific contacts
After rolling out emoji reactions,
Meta-owned WhatsApp is
reportedly adding the option to hide your 'Last Seen' status from specific
contacts.
With the latest beta release of its iOS app, WhatsApp has added an
option that allows users to limit specific individuals from seeing their
"Last Scene" status, according to WABetaInfo.
If you are not familiar with that part of WhatsApp, it is the
feature that indicates when someone last checked the app, and it is a way to
find out if a contact may have potentially seen your message even if they have
read receipts turned off, reports Engadget.
For a while now, WhatsApp has allowed
you to limit who sees your status to only your contacts. You can also disable
the feature altogether, but you have not had the ability to prevent specific
individuals from seeing that information.
However, WhatsApp iOS beta version 22.9.0.70 adds a new "My
Contacts Except" option under the Last Seen section of the app's privacy
settings.
According to WABetaInfo, adding an individual to that list also
prevents you from seeing their status.
