More privacy options on WhatsApp
Currently we can only restrict who can see our photo with the options “Everyone”, “My contacts” and “Nobody”. With the new function that WhatsApp is preparing, we can select a series of contacts who could not see our profile picture nor other data.
It seems that this feature still has some bugs, but it is already being tested in the beta versions of the app for iOS and Android. It is true that WhatsApp usually takes a long time to include these news on many occasions, but this novelty could reach the official version over the next few weeks.
It is certainly one of those novelties that should have been there from the beginning, hiding your profile picture from whoever you want should be a basic option. At least it seems that it is something that is going to arrive soon, we will see if other news such as the “Communities” that WhatsApp is preparing will also arrive in the next updates.
