WhatsApp is the most famous messaging app available right now for smartphones. Almost every smartphone user knew the value of the WhatsApp app; it improves communication between friends, lovers, and families. If you are familiar with the WhatsApp app, you might have known the Last Seen feature of the WhatsApp app . It will show others when the user opened the app last time with a date and timings below their profile name . This particular feature has advantages as well as disadvantages.The advantage is that it will let our friends and families know when we opened and used the app last time with a time stamp, which is clearly an advantage . On the other side, anyone who has our contact number can see our profile pictures, status, and last seen status, which is a clearly disadvantage without any doubt. There is an option to block contact numbers, but there is no way for us to know how many people have our contact numbers. So it affects our privacy. Taking advantage of this, many 3rd party apps got released in the Google Play Store to hide last seen status in WhatsApp, but till now, nothing has fulfilled users needs completely.
With the recent purchase of WhatsApp by Facebook, this might be considered a good update for Android users. This update brings an option to hide Last Seen status from everyone, my contacts, and nobody, along with profile picture and status. Adding to that, this update brings an option to save our friends profile pictures finally, like in the iPhone.
