After the buyout by Facebook for a whopping $19 billion, the cross-platform messaging app, WhatsApp has rolled out two new features for mobile users on the Android platform. The new reports say that the update for the Android platform will allow users to hide the 'last seen' notification from other users, with the choice of hiding it from everyone, from certain contacts, or only those not on the user's phonebook.
This feature has been available to iOS users for a while. It is now included under the privacy settings on the WhatsApp for Android app. Currently the new features are not available for download on the Google Play store.
But for the latest version you need to go to Whatsapp official website www.whatsapp.com/android as it is not available on Google Play store yet.
WhatsApp has added another update, which lets users of WhatsApp for Android hide their profile pictures and status from select friends, strangers or just about everyone. The new privacy tab will only be visible under the new settings tab under account settings after the new version has been downloaded.
How to use the latest version???
1) Download the latest Android app from www.android.com/android
2) Install the apk that you downloaded (None of you saved chats will be affected :-D)
3) Now go to Settings > Account> Privacy> WHO CAN SEE MY PERSONAL INFO
4) Select option of your choice and its done.
So will this feature increase the Whatsapp users or will it bring down its popularity is something to see in coming in future.
