New feature: WhatsApp will soon allow users to hide online status from everyone

According to WABetaInfo, this feature will appear in a future update as it is under development, so it cannot be released to beta testers as it is not ready.

From now on, users can choose to show their Last Seen information to contacts, some people, or no one. For a future version of the app, WhatsApp will allow users to take a similar approach to online switching, reports 9To5Mac.

This new privacy feature is being developed at the same time that WhatsApp is preparing another important feature, the ability to edit a message.

It’s been a while since the app started allowing users to delete messages, but it never brought the ability to edit them — which is finally changing in a future update.

The ability to edit and delete messages is also coming to another favorite messaging app: iMessage with iOS 16.

Although it has caused some controversy, the ability to edit and delete a message can be very useful when you misspell a word or send the wrong information to a person in a chat.
