Meta-owned WhatsApp has announced that it is rolling out new options to your privacy control settings to further protect users’ privacy online.
On the microblogging site, the company wrote that now users can select who from their contact list can see Profile Photo, About, and Last Seen status.
“The safety and security of you and your messages matter to us. We want you to know about the tools and features we have designed to help you stay safe while using WhatsApp,” the company wrote on its FAQ page.
WhatsApp said users can set your last seen, profile photo, about, or status to the following options — Everyone: Your last seen, profile photo, about, or status will be available to all WhatsApp users; My Contacts: Your last seen, profile photo, about, or status will be available to your contacts from your address book only.
My Contacts Except… : Your last seen, profile photo, about, or status will be available to your contacts from your address book, except those you exclude.
