WhatsApp will soon make it easier to hide your Last Seen status from others
WhatsApp finally makes it possible to transfer your WhatsApp chat history from your iPhone to an Android phone. This is one of the most requested features that WhatsApp has been able to enable is to transfer chat history from one operating system to another when switching calls.
Now, WhatsApp is about to make it much easier to manage its last online feature, that is who can and cannot see your profile information, including your last log in.
According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp’s new privacy tools are being developed to allow you to control who can see parts of your profile. Currently, “Last Seen,” “Profile Photo,” and “About” can be seen by everyone, your contacts, or none.

There are no customizable options here, which keep things very stable compared to other messaging apps. Those restrictions will be removed soon, as WhatsApp is currently testing the ability to exclude certain contacts from seeing your status.
With this option, you will be able to hide your “Last Seen” from being seen by a few people without completely disabling it. This option will also support profile photos and bios, providing much more privacy control than previously provided.
Disabling “Last Seen” will always be a two-way street, if you hide a group of people from your contact list, WhatsApp will hide their details.
Although the feature has been seen on iOS, it is planned to be available on all smartphones whenever it is ready for the first time. As helpful as “Last seen”, and can open up potential sources of abuse, so it’s good to see that WhatsApp makes its privacy options more flexible.

WhatsApp is rolling out the February 2023 update for the app users that installs a bunch of new features. One of those new features is the ability to send up to 100 pictures and videos at once to a WhatsApp chat or group.
While sharing media on WhatsApp, at one time or the other, everyone might have come across this problem that the app cannot share more than 30 images or videos at a time.

This is very annoying when you have less time or more media items to share. Thankfully, we no longer have to go through this kind of problem as we can now send up to 100 pictures and videos within our WhatsApp chats, making it easier for users to share entire albums with their friends and family.
Aside from this, the latest WhatsApp update also adds the ability to attach a caption when sharing documents so you have a new way to describe them. It further lets you choose a longer subject and description for your groups so that you can better describe groups.
In addition to this, the company also makes it possible to better express yourself by creating an avatar to use as a sticker and profile photo. It’s worth mentioning that this feature is already available in the app (Via WABetaInfo) but the company has now only mentioned it in the changelog.
WhatsApp has been offering the ability to delete messages for everyone for years. But have you ever mistakenly deleted the message just from your side when you want to delete it for another side as well? It’s so embarring. Therefore, Whatsapp now allows you to retain deleted messages so you can later delete them for everyone.
Recently, this famous messaging application has started to roll out a new update for Android and iOS users. As per the official information, this WhatsApp update makes it possible to retain your deleted messages by mistake for a few seconds.

Now when you delete a message just for you, you will see an “Undo” option at the bottom of your screen. When you tap on it, your deleted message will start appearing on the chat again. You can now use the “Delete for everyone” function to delete the message from another side too.

However, this retrieve ability will only be available for a few seconds when you delete the message. So if you want to keep your messages, don’t take much time to think and hit the Undo button.
It is worth mentioning that the Undo option will only appear when you tap the “Delete for me” option. And when you hit the “Delete for everyone” option, that message will be permanently deleted from both sides.
Do note that this is a staged rollout. This feature might not be present on your WhatsApp at this moment. However, the company is continuously expanding it and it will reach your Android or iOS phone as well. Make sure to upgrade your WhatsApp to the latest version to get this function.
"Delete for Me" 🤦🤦🤦
