WhatsApp is implementing in the latest beta version for Android a new option that allows users to hide their profile picture and connection time to selected contacts manually.
Until now, the messaging application only allowed you to choose this option for the statuses, since when displaying the privacy menu of these, it presented three alternatives for viewing: 'My contacts', 'My contacts, except...' and ' Just share with...'.
However, as
WABetaInfo
has warned in the new update of the
Google Play
beta program , version 2.22.8.9 of
for
Android
, this option has been extended to the section of the profile photo, contact information and the last connection time.
This option is not new, since the messaging application began testing it in previous beta versions for both
Android
and
iOS
, which it has been testing throughout 2021.
However, this feature was made available to some beta testers and very few people were able to test its functionality.
How to install the update
Now, this limit has been extended, so those who want to try it will have to download the latest beta version of
for
Android 2.22.8.9
.
Once installed, they must access the
WhatsApp Settings
menu , press '
Account
', then '
Privacy
' and check who can see your personal information.
Then, both in
'Time of last time'
of connection, as in
'Profile picture'
,
'Information'
and
'Status',
four options will be displayed: 'All', 'My contacts', 'My contacts, except. ..' and no one'.
WhatsApp
reminds that those users who select the option
'My contacts, except...'
will also not be able to see the last connection of these people.
