WhatsApp will soon allow you to hide last seen from a creepy stalker

WhatsApp already allows users to hide last seen from everyone, contacts, and no one at all (nobody). As per a new report coming from WABetaInfo, WhatsApp will soon allow users to hide last seen from specific contacts. For instance, if you want to hide your last seen from a creepy stalker, the messaging platform will soon have that option as well.

The Facebook owned messaging platform currently allows users to hide their last seen, profile photo and about section. However, there is no option to hide the information from a specific contact. As per the latest report, WhatsApp will soon allow users to hide their last seen from a specific contact or a someone they dislike. This should specifically help users who want to hide their details from a creepy stalker.

Similar to other last seen hiding options, the upcoming feature is likely to get added to the list in the Settings menu. The report doesn’t reveal too many details about the feature and when it will release.

The upcoming last seen feature has been spotted on iOS for the time being. So, we can expect feature to first release for iPhone users and probably soon followed by Android smartphone users.
