WhatsApp has been rolling out several new features to its users, including Communities and emoji responses. In addition, an upcoming feature in Meta’s messaging platform would allow users to hide their “last seen” status from select contacts, according to WABetaInfo’s latest report. According to reports, the functionality is being tested in the newest beta version of WhatsApp for iOS.
WhatsApp users will now be able to restrict their ‘Last seen’ status to just a select group of people, precisely as they can do with status. The “Privacy” settings in the app are where you’ll find this option. Navigate to the “Last Seen” category and choose the desired choice from the following: Everyone, My Contacts, “Nobody,” and “My Contacts Except”. Of course, you won’t be able to view the last seen of the unversed if you deactivate it for specific contacts.

WhatsApp is anticipated to include a similar feature for profile images and the “About” section. Users will be able to choose who sees their WhatsApp profile images with this new functionality. According to the source, “You could see a new option named ‘My Contacts Except…’ if you enter WhatsApp Settings > Account > Privacy > Last Seen / Profile Photo / About.”

For iOS and Android users alike, WhatsApp has lately announced several announcements. 32-person phone conversations, a new Communities function, and a 2GB file upload are new additions to the messaging platform’s capabilities. In addition, WhatsApp has added a few new tools for Group administrators. It includes the option to delete incorrect or problematic texts from the conversation of all members.
Users of WhatsApp may now use emojis in response to text messages, much as on Facebook and Instagram. This allows users to swiftly express their thoughts without sending many messages back and forth.
