Whatsapp presents a innovation

WhatsApp's data, such as status images, profile photos and information that when you last saw WhiteApp, you could only hide from some people from your contact list.

What App is constantly updateing its app with new options to make use and communication easier, but also to protect users and their privacy. Such a privacy-focused option was announced in mid-April, and includes hiding personal information only from some people from their contact list.

While earlier this option was available only to some, Whatsapp announced via Twitter this week that they have given the opportunity for a larger number of users on their communication platform. So, data like profile photo, status, when you've used this app for the last time (the recently watched “option) can only be deleted by certain contacts. Of course, previous options such as hiding these data from all contacts are still available or claims can be arranged so that the data is visible to all.

To manage the privacy of the mentioned options, you must go to the qualities / Private Account and select any individual option (last approach, profile picture, description, groups and status) and determine the visibility of your data for other users. A particularly sensitive option for user privacy is “Last seen” because even if it disables the option to confirm message reading, users can see that the option when you have had access for the last time whatsapp may think you received and read their message and did not respond.

To avoid these problems with some people (who may not have the best relationship or with whom you are colleagues and do not want to communicate privately) it is now possible to show that such information does not appear only to them. As in the case of confirmation of read messages, in this case you will not be able to see when these users have recently approached whatsapp. /Engadget
