After months of leaks and rumors WhatsApp now allows you to hide the “Online” . The company has been testing the function in internal tests for a few months and now it is available to users. From today you can try and hide the famous online that has been present for years every time you enter WhatsApp . We tell you how and why it is important.
WhatsApp has been showing a warning for years to indicate that you are online . This can be seen by all the contacts you have in your address book, so it is revealed when you are connected or not. After a few years the company has realized that it is time to give the option to remove it.
If you want, you can now hide the “online” of WhatsApp
The WhatsApp beta already has this function in the privacy section. The objective is to give the user the option to keep or remove this warning for the users that he wants. Yes, it can be configured so that only the contacts you want to see it . Not only does it work like the “Last Time” section, but it is integrated with it.
Within the privacy section you can already configure -if you are in the beta- if you want to show or not the famous ” online “. You have several options for its configuration so that all users can configure it to their liking.
- hide online for everyone
- Show online only to contacts
- All contacts except those you select
- Hide everyone online, whether they are contacts or not
This way you can make it so no one knows when you are on WhatsApp . Of course, depending on what you select, you won’t see the status of other users either . It works the same way as the last hour.
It is a matter of days before WhatsApp expands this function to the stable version so that the vast majority of users can configure it on their devices. As expected, it will be available on Android and IOS mobiles. How are you going to configure it?
