It is now possible to set up your privacy settings on WhatsApp in even more detail. The innovations here concern the profile information.

WhatsApp profile information

Previously, you could specify who saw your profile information such as status, profile picture, info or the “last online” time. The selection included the options: “Everyone”, “My Contacts” or “Nobody”. Maybe even that was not enough.

Now the selection options have been expanded. Namely about the point “My contacts except…”, as WhatsApp also announces FAQ

If you now select the setting “My contacts except…” you can select exceptions for the contacts who will no longer see the profile picture, online timestamp, status or information.

Tip: If you only want to show your profile information to a few contacts, you don't have to go through the hassle of excluding the majority of your contacts. To do this, it is better to take the opposite approach by first selecting all of them and then unchecking the few favorite contacts.

Where can I find these settings?

To check your current privacy settings and adjust them if necessary, first select the “Settings” menu in WhatsApp. Under “Account” you will find the “Data protection” item, where you can specify who should see what.
