WhatsApp rolled out a new privacy feature to ensure end-to-end encryption for users' chats and to provide ways to hide status, profile picture, and more.
The new feature will ensure that an unknown WhatsApp contact, with whom you have never chatted, will not be able to see your last seen and online status
A user on Twitter asked WhatsApp if someone is facing any issue in which they can't check the last seen of contacts. In response, another user shared a screengrab of WhatsApp Support for the same issue which mentions the new security feature.
"To improve the privacy and security of our users, we're making it harder for people you don't know and haven't chatted with from seeing your last seen and online presence on WhatsApp," the screenshot information reads.
Moreover, the new privacy feature will not change anything for the users with their friends, family, and businesses with whom they have contacted previously.
The app has been introducing new features over the past few months. In November, it allowed users to use a built-in sticker maker in the browser and desktop app version.
The web version has been updated with a built-in custom Sticker Maker, which lets you turn ordinary images from your computer into stickers that can be sent via the messaging service.
In order to access this feature, click the paperclip (attachments) icon, select Sticker, and then pick an image to upload. Besides WhatsApp’s web version, the feature is also coming to its Desktop apps in the next week.
Once uploaded, images can be edited to turn them into the perfect sticker. You can draw an outline around the picture’s subject to cut out the background, and you can also crop the images. Emoji, text, and additional WhatsApp stickers can also be layered on top of your sticker creations.
