New privacy features will give users more control over what other people can see. Users can limit who can see their profile photos with the new update.

The new option allows users to exclude specific people in your contacts from seeing your profile photo and last seen status. This feature makes it easy for people to hide from businesses, banking accounts, or people they don't know.

Everyone, my contacts, and nobody were the only options available previously. If users decide to hide their status from others, you won't be able to see it.

The new privacy setting was available to select users prior to the official launch. Group calls were updated by the messaging platform. Participants in large group calls are now able to message specific people.

According to Techcrunch, it has been a feature heavy week for the messaging service. The company announced earlier this week that it was adding the ability for users to transfer their conversation chat history, photos, videos, and voice messages from their phone to their computer.

It is possible that the features can be enabled on the account soon.
