WhatsApp has included new privacy controls in its app that let you hide your profile picture, last login time and more information, but only to certain contacts, so others can see it.
This is a new privacy option from the company that gives users the ability to differentiate your closest contacts, and other numbers that are in the directory, but do not need to see your information.
And it is that, many numbers in your contact book do not have to be friends or family, but they can be your landlord or the dentist, and now you can prevent them from seeing your main profile information.
