WhatsApp is working on a feature that will let users hide their last seen and online status

On the internet, the utmost priority for most users is privacy. With WhatsApp being the reigning king of chatting apps, many people use it for multiple purposes like chatting to friends or family and work stuff. The app like all major apps can let you see when a person is online, whether they have you your messages and left you on reading etc. but, as part of a new 3 feature privacy campaign by Meta the step-parent company of WhatsApp, this feature is going away and new features like the screenshot blocker and past participants are going to take its place.

This feature is still under development so much has not been released about it, but as we can see in this screenshot posted by WABetainfo, WhatsApp is working on a feature that will let users hide their last seen and if they are online or not.

According to the screenshot even though the feature is marked under development the feature and its tab are completely ready to come out into the world for desktop users as well. As you can see in the screenshot when the Tab is opened it gives you two main headings Who can see your last seen and Who can see when I am online?

This feature will let users control their online presence, to ward off any unpleasant and irrelevant messages and people.

Moving on, there is one more thing I want to talk about, and that is the reaction feature. According to a screenshot posted by WBI, the reaction preview feature is now coming to iOS as well. Right now this feature is still under development and will be coming to iOS soon. This feature will let users see a text preview of how the other user has reacted to their message or story.
