WhatsApp rolling out a new update – who can see when I’m online
In a previous article released last month, WABetaInfo reported about Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook post. In the post, the Facebook CEO announced about three new WhatsApp features. The ability to view past group participants, ability to block screenshots, and ability to hide online status.
The third feature is a privacy feature which will let you use WhatsApp in stealth mode. When you enable this mode the ‘online’ string will be deleted from your chat head. In this latest update, the platform is finally rolling out the new privacy settings to some select beta testers.
The reliable WhatsApp news source has also released a screenshot of the feature. In the screenshot, you can see that it is very easy to check if this feature is already enabled on your account. To hide your online string open your WhatsApp settings. Then go to your account.
