Is it online or not online? And when was the last time he connected? Can I wait for an answer shortly or do I have to wait for it to come back online? The WhatsApp users ask themselves these questions thanks to ‘information on’ “Last” listed under the contact name in the chat.
At present, the application offers the possibility to make these data visible to Everyone, To my contacts or Nobody. The WhatsApp team is working on a fourth option, which will make the control over who can see such data even more versatile and granular: the To my contacts except … option is on the way.
The user can thus further restrict the number of people who will be able to view the data on the last access, excluding one or more of their contacts. However, there will be a price to pay to keep the information confidential: by activating the option, you will lose the ability to see the information on the last access of the excluded contact.
It is useful to add that the option to exclude certain contacts from viewing some personal data will also be applied to the sections that regulate access to information on the Profile picture and Info – both currently include only the three options mentioned. at the opening (All, To my contacts and None). These innovations are currently under development in the iOS version of WhatsApp, but will also arrive on Android, according to timelines yet to be defined.
And since the previews of the news with WhatsApp never end in the last hours, the function for searching messages based on the date, which has been talked about for over a year, has returned to the fore. WABetainfo colleagues only say that the development team is still working, it shows a new screenshot taken from the iOS version but offers no other useful information to determine when it will arrive.
