WhatsApp rolls out new privacy controls for ‘profile picture’, ‘last seen status’

Published

WhatsApp has released new privacy controls that allow users to decide who can view their profile pictures and who cannot. Part of the privacy controls also allow users to choose who can see their ‘last seen’ status, including the ‘About’ section.

Before now, users only had the option to block those settings for Everyone, My Contacts, or Nobody. The new privacy updates put WhatsApp users in control, letting them choose to block settings with a new option called, “My Contacts Except.”

With this, your contacts can see your last seen, profile photo, or status, except the people you exclude.
