WHATSAPP WILL HIDE 'LAST SEEN' STATUS FROM STRANGERS BY DEFAULT
WhatsApp is now releasing a new privacy update that will hide the 'last seen' status from people you do not know.
Before this, WhatsApp had set the feature on "Everyone" by default, which allowed anyone on WhatsApp to see your status.
As The Verse stated, WhatsApp's new update will limit the visibility of your status and set the feature to "My Contacts' by default instead of "Everyone".
The option, "My Contacts" option for your "last seen" status was available, but not a default.
It should also be mentioned that WhatsApp has a" Nobody" option too. This option prevents all users from seeing your "Last Seen".
Your status lets other users know the time you were last online, or if you are using WhatsApp. The "My Contacts" option does not allow third-party apps from logging your last online, because an app isn't in your contacts. It is also boosting privacy by making the disappearing messaging feature the default.
