User privacy is a growing concern of WhatsApp. Many of the new features that have appeared in this service aim to increase this element and bring even more confidence to those who choose this service.
With constant news, WhatsApp has tried to improve in this area and now has an important new feature. The latest beta of Android has received an improvement that gives users the ability to have even more privacy with a simple change.
News across the board doesn’t seem to be slowing down on WhatsApp. Many of them are still tests of changes that the service wants to implement and must evaluate before launching them globally to users.
These focus on several areas and seek to make this messaging service even better. These include, for example, ways to use WhatsApp on more platforms, in isolation, or significant improvements in user privacy and visibility.
This is where the latest news comes in to reach the WhatsApp for Android test program. Version 2.21.23.14 debuts with users a novelty that had already been revealed a few months ago, albeit during internal testing of the service.
We’re talking about the ability to further limit the presentation of the user’s last logged in hour. If until now the options were the normal All, My Contacts and Person options, there is a new one that will become available. We are talking about My Contacts except that it will allow you to choose who to hide this information from.
Although it is in public testing, this new feature is not yet available to everyone who has adopted the beta. There is still a limited group of users who have had access to this add-on, which will be coming to WhatsApp soon.
Even though this is just a novelty, it guarantees users a lot more privacy. They can finally choose who they show to the last time they were online and thus reveal (or not) when they were using WhatsApp.
