WhatsApp began rolling out to some beta users a new feature that allows them to hide their “Online” connection status within the instant messaging app.

The CEO of Meta Platforms, Mark Zuckerberg, announced last August the arrival of new functions to the app. Among these, the possibility of selecting who can and who cannot see when a user is connected was announced.

Now, several specialized portals have confirmed the deployment of this new feature among certain participants in the beta of the instant messaging application for Android, in versions 2.22.20.9 and 2.22.20.7.

Thanks to it, users will be able to configure from the app Settings which contacts they give access to, both at the time of their last connection and whether they are online or not.

Both permissions go hand in hand, and it is the user’s decision to create a list with those contacts to whom they want to grant this permission to further protect their privacy.

WhatsApp implemented new privacy options on the platform, among which is the function that allows you to hide the “online” status from other contacts when using the application, as well as silently leave groups.

The company has spent months developing new features focused on having greater control over conversations in different beta versions of the instant messaging platform.

Last May, this portal anticipated that in the beta version for Desktop an option had been introduced to exclusively notify the administrator or administrators of a group when a member of the group chat left it.

Months later, in July, it was verified in a screenshot of WhatsApp beta for iOS that in a future update it would be possible to limit who could see the connection status, within the Last Seen Settings section.

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, confirmed through his personal profile on Facebook the official implementation of these functions, which will soon be available to all users. “We will continue to create new ways to protect your messages and keep them as private and confidential as face-to-face conversations”.

Also this month, users will have the opportunity to choose who can see when they are “online.” To keep your online presence private, the company introduced the ability to select who can and cannot see when you’re online and using the app.

WhatsApp is working to integrate a new feature that will allow users to hide that they are online from other contacts when they are using the application.

Currently, in the privacy options of the social network, you can choose who can see the time of the last connection, the profile picture, the information or the statuses, which have a duration of 24 hours.

However, until now it is not possible to hide the status, so that all users can see if one of their contacts is inside the application and, therefore, online.

As specialized media recently indicated the company is working to incorporate a feature that it has been developing for months to maintain privacy.

According to a screenshot of WhatsApp beta for iOS, in a future update it will be possible to limit who can see the connection status within the Last Seen Settings section.

The Secretaries of State for Digitization of Germany, Dorothee Bär and of Spain, Carme Artigas, reported, in a digital meeting with journalists, that the idea is that other countries of the community join the agreement and both officials are taking steps to achieve this. target.

The European Union has been working on the creation of a “kind of Community digital wallet”. That is a virtual card which allows citizens to carry out online operations that currently require the introduction of a DNI or other official document. This wallet would facilitate management in the public and private sectors and should be operational by September 2022, according to estimates from Brussels.
