WhatsApp has launched many features and updates this year to bridge the gap between the competitors and itself. It upgraded the ability to send the files up to 2GB in size, increased the group capacity to 512 people, and introduced Communities to connect people in a better way. As far as privacy and security are concerned, the messaging app introduced some new controls to hide the profile picture, conceal the profile information and disguise the last seen status from a few contacts. This time the company will be adding another privacy control to hide the user’s online status. So there will be no more answering unwanted friends and irritating family members. This feature will appear with a future version of WhatsApp for iOS users. We are hoping that the company will also launch it for Android and web users.

In the Last Seen & Online section at the bottom, there will be a new addition of “WHO CAN SEE WHEN I AM ONLINE”. So one can choose among two options if everyone can see him/her being online or the same as last seen. So if a person wants to hide his online status from others, this is the best option for him. The company also notifies the users that if they will not share their Last Seen and Online status, they won’t be able to see other people’s last seen and online status. So, the company plays fair for all. Hiding online status is surely an attractive option and users will surely be going to like it. Also Read: WhatsApp To Get More Emoji Reactions Soon
