WhatsApp has started rolling out some new privacy-oriented features to the stable version of the app on Android and iOS operating systems. While this includes a couple of new features, the most noticeable ones are the ability to hide profile photos and last seen from select contacts. Now, for those who don’t know, before this, WhatsApp only allowed users to either completely hide their profile photos or last seen or hide them from unknown numbers only. However, with the latest update, users now have a third option to hide them from specific contacts.
So, if you’ve been waiting for this feature and looking to enable it, follow our step-by-step guide:
Steps to hide last seen from specific contacts
Open WhatsApp on your smartphone
Head to WhatsApp Settings
Then, look for Accounts → Privacy
Tap on the Last seen option and choose My contacts except…
Choose the contacts from the list from which you want to hide your last seen status

- Open WhatsApp on your smartphone
- Head to WhatsApp Settings
- Then, look for Accounts → Privacy
