Oh yea, the most downloaded and used famous IM app, considered as a must have app  by many and now the first thing to reckon after the Facebook and WhatsApp collaboration is definitely this. Having it officially from the developers of Whatsapp was just a day and now this update that you will love, for sure.

WhatsApp just released a new beta (testing) version which finally supports hiding the “last seen”, profile picture and status from your friends or strangers. Following is how it could be done,go to Settings > Account > Privacy > Last seen or Profile picture or Status. Tap on anyone of them and select your choice. For those who are new to WhatsApp or interested in knowing, here is what the selections will do.

• Everyone: Simply everyone, who has your contact number in their list can see.
• My contacts: Contacts in your phonebook list can can only see and no one else even if they have you in their list
• Nobody: This is interesting, hide it from everyone, doesn’t matter its in your list or the corresponding party’s.

We have waited long for this and I’m sure so have you. But wait, there is something else that came grabbing our eyes.

Just go to Settings > Account > Payment info, tap on the 3-dot menu or the hardware menu button and select “Pay for a friend” and then “CHOOSE A CONTACT“. Select the contact you want to help and there you go.
