WhatsApp is adding the option to hide your ‘Last Seen’ status from specific contacts

This week, the messaging service began rolling out reactions. The company could soon implement another feature. With the latest version of the app, users can limit specific individuals from seeing their Last Scene status.

If you don't know, the feature that indicates when someone last checked the app is a way to find out if a contact has seen your message. For a while now, you can limit who sees your status to your contacts. You have the option of disabling the feature altogether, but you haven't been able to prevent specific individuals from seeing that information.

There is a new option under the Last Seen section of the app. Adding an individual to that list prevents you from seeing their status. Privacy controls for profile photos and about sections are being implemented by the outlet. It won't be long until it's officially available in WhatsApp, with the feature currently in testing on both phones.
