The updated Android app has brought the option to hide the ‘last seen’ notification, profile photo and status through privacy settings.
Users will find the new privacy feature in settings menu under account settings. So far, users can hide all three pieces of information from people not on their contact list, from select people, or from everyone.
The update has also added an option to share/save profile photo/group icon. Another interesting update is the new service payment feature, which lets users pay for their friends WhatsApp service. Users need to go visit contacts, check the particular contact’s information, and press the menu option, where they will find the option for making the payment.
