Meta-owned WhatsApp is working on a feature that will enable its users to hide the 'last seen' status from certain people. With this move Whatsapp is looking to empower its users with new features.
The beta version of WhatsApp for Android has now included an option to hide your "last seen" status from specific people, according to GSMArena.
The feature is finally live for a subset of those part of the beta programme. It has been in active development for a few months, the report said.
The company might soon make the way to its Beta users to be able to use the new feature, before launching it to every user worldwide.

Meanwhile, this month, a report said that WhatsApp is working on a new Communities feature that will give admins more power over groups.
According to WABetaInfo, the Communities feature appears to give group admins more power over groups.
The new feature is speculated to grant admins the ability to invite new users via a Community Invite Link and then start messaging other members.
