Finally WhatsApp comes with this feature!
It is not going fast with WhatsApp, but now they finally come with this function.
Your online status in WhatsApp, this is a hot topic. Now the messaging service comes with a feature that allows users to hide their online status, according to WABetaInfo. On Saturday, the site shared a screenshot of the new privacy settings. This allows someone to decide who can see them when they use the app. The feature is said to complement recent tweaks WhatsApp has introduced to the app’s Last Seen functionality.
New feature WhatsApp
After a beta rollout in April, the company released an update that added an “Except My Contacts” setting. This allows for more granular control over who can see when you last checked the app. The problem with WhatsApp’s last seen status was that it gave contacts a way to find out if you’d seen their message, even if you turned off read receipts.
Many people find this annoying and have been waiting for an adjustment for a long time. So that you are really in control. WhatsApp takes this kind of noise seriously and comes up with adjustments. It has to be, the messaging service lags hopelessly behind the competitors in some areas.
Status function
Looking at the screenshot shared by WABetaInfo, the new online status feature allows you to restrict the same people you don’t want to see your Last Seen status. It’s surprising that WhatsApp took so long to start working on such a basic privacy feature. But now that it’s finally on the way, many users are sure to appreciate it.
