With WhatsApp Beta, you can now decide which contacts can see your last online time and profile picture

WhatsApp’s privacy settings allow us to decide who can see our last login timeour profile picture or our informationbut until now, the options it gave us were to show this information to everyone, only to our contacts or to no one.

With the latest WhatsApp beta, that finally changed after a four-month wait. now finally we can hide from certain contacts

. That is, we can decide which contacts can see our profile picture, our information, or above all, see the time of the last connection.

Here are the new WhatsApp privacy options

From version WhatsApp 2.22.8.9 (currently only available through the Google Play beta program, we’ll find a new option when configuring our privacy. It’s about ‘My contacts, except…’

In this way WhatsApp gives us more control over the personal information our contacts can seewhich now lets you manually hide yourself from those contacts you don’t want them to know when you were last online or see your profile picture.

With WhatsApp updated to version 2.22.8.9 (APK), just go to Menu > Settings > Account > Privacy

to start excluding contacts we don’t want to see last seen, profile picture and information.

Now that this feature is available for all WhatsApp Beta users, it’s already a few weeks before the “My contacts, except…” option will finally reach everyone via the stable version of WhatsApp, which it receives the news a month later.
