WhatsApp launched new privacy options that allow its users to choose who can see their profile picture, last connection, status and the personal information included in their description.

The company introduced new options in privacy controls after several months of testing on both Android and iOS. In September 2021, it began allowing hiding the last connection time, profile picture, and descriptive information for specific contacts in a development version for iOS.

At the end of March of this year, the app expanded these options with the possibility of allowing certain contacts to hide the last connection time and profile picture in the Android beta.

The instant messaging app has now opened up these privacy options to its entire user base and also added the ability to hide their statuses as well, as announced via Twitter and explained on the Help Desk page.

WhatsApp’s users therefore now have the option to choose whether to give access to all app users, only to their saved contacts, to their contacts except those you choose to exclude, or to no one.
