WhatsApp new feature: The messaging platform is gearing up to add the most important privacy feature that I have been waiting for the longest time. WhatsApp will add the ability to hide last seen status from specific contacts.
WhatsApp is finally rolling out an update to beta users, adding a new privacy option and adding the ability to hide your Last seen status on WhatsApp from specific contacts. So, you can soon add your co-workers, your boss, and your most annoying relatives to that list on WhatsApp. Long story short, you can be safe from comments like, "I saw you were online on WhatsApp."
While surely I'm not too fond of Last Seen Status on WhatsApp, but I think it's an excellent way for your close ones to keep an eye on the messaging platform to see when you were last using it. This, in fact, becomes even more important when you can't reply to people, but they can see that you were not using WhatsApp for some time. It just makes it easier for you to explain that you were not on the app.
However, WhatsApp could have added another option that could have been more popular than "My contacts except..." and that would have been "Share Last seen with".
The current option in testing will mean that you would still have to softly block most people in your contact list. While the "Share Last seen with" could have allowed you to add select contacts that you can see when you're online.
