WhatsApp for iOS will allow you to choose who to show status and photo to

Probably the changes that are coming with the purchase of WhatsApp by Facebook are not yet as evident as many expected. But for better or worse, they will come. And in this case an early leak indicates (although we do not know if this was already scheduled before the purchase by the social network of the application) that there will be an update of WhatsApp for iOS that promises great news regarding privacy management. Something on the other hand, a thousand times requested by the millions of messenger users.

In this case, as you can see in the screenshot, that supposed update of WhatsApp for iOS 7 would come with a new menu that would allow us to have maximum control over the profile picture, over the last connection and over the status; and decide at all times who we want to show it to and who not within our contact list.

Although it has not been indicated when it would see the light this new WhatsApp update for iOS, it is presumed that it will be very soon. Neither have details been given of how the selection menu of the contacts who may or may not see the images, the connection time and the status that we have placed would work in depth; But we do know that they will be three independent functions that will be managed separately, and therefore will allow some contacts to block one thing and not another.

What remains for me is the fact of whether we will have to create contact groups to block several users in any of the functions, if it will use lists that we have been able to configure in the direct menu of the terminal, or if the blocking will be individual and will have a maximum number of users who not to show it to. In any case, be that as it may, I like this idea for the Whatsapp update. Let's see when they release it!
