WhatsApp’s instant messaging app is betting on increasing user privacy. If until now the consumers of the application could hide the messages read in the individual chats or their last connection, the new feature will not reveal when they are “online”.
At 20BITS we have already talked about this novelty that the developers were working on, however it seemed that the day of its launch had never arrived. Thanks to a report from WABetaInfo, we know the functionality is ready the latest beta update for Android 2.22.20.9, although the previous beta version 2.22.20.7 has also been marked as compatible. This information implies that we will be able to enjoy this feature very soon.

Users who have the opportunity to try this tool and want to apply it, need to access WhatsApp settings, go to ‘Account’> ‘Privacy’> ‘Last login and online’ and select “As last seen” so that only users who can see the last connection can check even when they are connected.
In this way, Internet users can choose that everyone sees their ‘online’, that only their contacts or a few selected contacts can. Just like last time, even users who hide this feature will not be able to see this data for others.
In addition to this feature, Mark Zuckerberg announced last month on Facebook that they would be launching more soon. how to block screenshots. These new features of the Meta application demonstrate the company’s intention to improve the security and privacy of the conversations that users have across its platforms.
