Ability to hide profile picture in new WhatsApp update

His message was seen; Even if the message mark is disabled. The new settings allow the user to disable this feature for certain people, as well as hide their profile picture, “About” and status from view.

If you restrict some people from seeing your “last visit” status, you will not be able to see their “last visit” status either. The new settings are available via the three-point menu at the top right of the app. After hitting the three dots, you should go to the “Account” section and then “Privacy”.

The company announced last year that it would restrict the accounts of users who did not agree to the new terms of the messenger’s privacy policy, but later withdrew from the decision. WhatsApp last week unveiled a new feature that makes it easier to transfer user data from an Android phone to an iPhone.
