WhatsApp is rolling out new measures to strengthen your privacy. The messaging application will indeed change some default settings to prevent people who are not saved in your address book or with whom you have not discussed the date and time of your last connection on WhatsApp.
Until now, the app has allowed anyone to know about your last online presence. This information, coupled with others, configured by default to be accessible to everyone, allowed strangers to spy on you without your knowledge.
WhatsApp decided to change this setting to prevent certain third-party apps from keeping the connection history of certain contacts. Malicious users have obviously used these applications dedicated to this task to “stalk” other instant messaging users.

Now, WhatsApp will not allow people who are not in your address book or who you have never chatted with to know when you last used the app.
Until this option is deployed to all users, you can manually change your privacy settings to limit the visibility of your last online presence on WhatsApp. To do this, you will need to go to Settings > Account > Confidentiality and pass the option Seen at on My contacts.
