WhatsApp’s “Last Seen” status will be able to be hidden from certain people

WhatsApp is known to be developing one of the popular features, namely “Last Seen” or “Last Seen”. Last seen itself is a feature that is able to show when the user was last online. Generally, the information listed on the Last Seen status is shown in the form of days, hours and minutes. Users can also turn off the Last Seen feature so that all contact lists cannot see information about when the user was last online. Recently, WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature for Last Seen, which will allow this status not to be seen by certain contacts, instead of everyone.

The new feature is an option “My contacts except ..” which can be selected to display Last Seen, Profile Photo, and About information from the user.

Through this option, users can choose to hide user profiles and activities on WhatsApp from only certain people in the contact list. The presence of this option is certainly practical, considering that previously the last online information, profile photo, and About column could only be set so that they could be seen by everyone (Everyone), user contacts (My Contacts), or hidden from everyone (Nobody).

With the “My contacts except…” option, users will be able to choose more specifically, about who can’t see Last Seen status. WhatsApp itself has reportedly been working on this new feature in recent months. This feature has even been rolled out periodically for WhatsApp Beta users version 2.21.23.14

The presence of the “My contacts except…” option in the Beta version of WhatsApp indicates that the feature will be officially released in the near future. When referring to the time series of the presence of new features in the past, it is likely that this new feature will be officially distributed at least in the next few months. Let’s just wait.
