WhatsApp has many privacy settings for last seen, profile photo and about feature. For example, when you select “everyone”, all users can see your information, whereas when you select “my contacts”, only those in your contacts list can see your information.
Unfortunately, these settings are not enough. You may want to open your last seen or profile picture to certain people and close it to the rest. WhatsApp did not offer such an option to users until now. With the new update released recently, the expected feature has finally arrived.

WhatsApp now allows to close last seen to selected people
“My Contacts Except…” option has been added to WhatsApp. With this feature, you will be able to hide your last seen, profile photo and about information from certain contacts. You won’t have to show it to everyone or all your contacts as before.

You can access the new feature by opening WhatsApp and going to Settings > Privacy. It’s worth noting that you won’t be able to see the last time the people you’ve hidden your last seen status from entered the WhatsApp app. However, the same does not apply to the profile photo and about information.
It is possible to move chat from Android to iOS
As WhatsApp continues to increase user privacy, a long-awaited feature: Chat migration support from Android to iOS. You can now use Apple’s “Move to iOS” app to transfer WhatsApp data from your Android phone to iPhone without the need for a cable connection.
