WhatsApp brings a new way to hide your profile picture, status updates and some other information from people. The new update adds more granular control over who is able to see information that you may not want everyone to see.
With the new option, WhatsApp users can now set their Profile Picture, Last Seen and other contact details to show to all contacts except a few pre-selected ones who will not be able to see these elements despite being contacts.
With the new option, WhatsApp now has a total of four privacy control settings. These are as follows.
Everyone: Your last seen, profile photo, about, or status will be available to all WhatsApp users.
My Contacts: Your last seen, profile photo, about, or status will be available to your contacts from your address book only.
