Soon a new function will appear on WhatsApp that will make it difficult for those who love to take care of other people’s lives. The novelty is already under test.
When implemented, the privacy feature will allow users to choose which contacts they want to hide profile details from.
It is completely different from what is happening today, in which it is only possible to disable the display of information for all users or limit access to the entire list of contacts.
According to WABetaInfo, the change will be available under Privacy Options. A screenshot showing the new functionality has been released by the specialized website.

As it turns out, this update gives you the freedom to choose to display contact information, except for the numbers included in the configuration.
The image also shows that the option to block the display of information for certain contacts will be available for the profile picture, description and also for the last seen.
Remember that the last visa represents the last time the user accessed WhatsApp. And the new function will appear under the usage alternatives as ‘My contacts, except for…’.
Users who have the beta version are expected soon to start testing the feature that will then be released to them for Android and iOS devices.
