Why WhatsApp blocks info when was one last online?
Although (or perhaps because of), WhatsApp has been heavily battered in recent months about user data management, it has been striving to improve in this area in recent weeks. In a short time, there were several features or restrictions that protects individual user data better. For example, we recently informed you that the settings for who can see “Last” will change. So information when the user was last online in the application. Now WhatsApp automatically cuts off some contacts from this option completely.
Itโs a new security feature. Got this reply from support today. If the person has not got your number in their contacts, or you havenโt sent one message between you, last seen/online is no longer visible. pic.twitter.com/qLPtC6rPOA

WhatsApp is no longer displaying data in the “Last” section to those who have never written a message to youEven if you need you normally have between contacts. The goal is to make strangers unaware of your presence or last activity. WABetaInfo also reminds you that they are available in the Play Store “Spyware” applications, which specialize in recording these data. You lose access with the deployment of the mentioned news.
How important is the “Last” function for you?
