New privacy function WhatsApp : Who sees what?

You now have an extra setting at your disposal for the three specified components. Next Everyone† my contacts and Nooneyou now have access except my contacts†

When you tap on this last option, your contact list will appear. People you choose from this list will no longer see your details, profile picture and last minute online. This gives you a little more control over who sees what in the app.

The next step is for WhatsApp to turn things around and there might be an option like this: except anyone would offer. Then it will be much easier for you to determine for yourself who sees what and you will soon be left with a significant group of people who see everything you want to share about you and prevent others from getting everything.

Now you can still edit this with the current option, but it takes a little more time. You now choose people who are not allowed to see anything, instead of people who are allowed to see something. Well, it might just be a preference.
