With the latest beta version of iOS, WhatsApp has added an option that allows users to restrict specific people from viewing their “Last Scene” status, according to WABetaInfo. If you are unfamiliar with this part of WhatsApp, it is a feature that indicates when someone last checked the app and is a way to find out if a contact may have seen your message, even if they have disabled reading receipts. reports Engadget. For some time now, WhatsApp has been allowing you to limit who sees your status only in your contacts. You can also turn off the feature completely, but you have not been able to prevent specific people from viewing this information. However, WhatsApp iOS beta version 22.9.0.70 adds a new “My Contacts Out” option in the Last View section of the app’s privacy settings. According to WABetaInfo, adding a person to this list also prevents you from seeing their status. The store reported that WhatsApp also applies more detailed privacy checks to both profile photos and sections. With the beta running now on both Android and iOS, it probably won’t be long before it becomes officially available on WhatsApp, the report said. 20220417-180803
