Good News! WhatsApp is reworking on privacy settings
WhatsApp has submitted a new update through the Google Play Beta Program, bringing the version up to 2.21.18. But what features has WhatsApp added in this update?
According to WABetainfo, a website that tracks WhatsApp updates, WhatsApp is finally reworking on privacy settings, for both WhatsApp beta for Android and iOS! In order to introduce what’s this feature, we need to explain how privacy settings were created and what’s the issue when using them.
Several years ago WhatsApp has implemented 3 privacy settings: Last Seen, Profile Picture, About. These settings allow you to decide who can see those data when interacting with you on WhatsApp. To manage these privacy settings, WhatsApp has implemented 3 options: Everyone, My Contacts, Nobody.
This means that, if you didn’t want a specific contact could see your last seen, you had to set the privacy setting of your last seen to “Nobody”. Today WhatsApp is finally working to introduce another option called “My contacts except…”, so you can finally enable your last seen back, and you can disable it for specific contacts!

As you can see in the above image/screenshot, “My contacts except” for last seen in this screenshot, but this also applies to other privacy settings as well, such as “profile picture” and “about”. Note that, if you disable your last seen for specific contacts, you won’t be able to see theirs.
We have no details about when the feature will be released for everyone.
