Globally popular messaging application WhatsApp has begun to test the new privacy feature that will make it easier for you to disable your last seen privacy for specific contacts.

According to WABetaInfo, the platform for real-time updates about WhatsApp, the new privacy update will be on WhatsApp beta for Android and iOS.

Currently, the Facebook-owned messaging app has three privacy settings (last seen, profile picture, about) with three options (everyone, my contacts, nobody) to manage these settings.

This means that, if you didn’t want a specific contact could see your last seen, you had to set the privacy setting of your last seen to “nobody”.

The new update WhatsApp is working on will offer another option called ‘my contacts except…’, so you can finally disable it for specific contacts.
