WhatsApp Update: Hide profile picture, last seen, status from selected contacts

Date:

WhatsApp has come with an update that lets you hide your profile picture, status and last seen from a few selective contacts. The recent update from WhatsApp will now allow people to maintain privacy from certain contacts or people. 

Earlier, there was no such feature like this, and your WhatsApp profile picture was visible to all your contacts. All your WhatsApp contacts could also view the status. If a user wanted to hide their last seen, then the feature would have been applicable to all the contacts.
