Meta rolled out a host of new features on WhatsApp earlier this month. The list includes Communities, in-chat polls, bigger group limit and greater group video calling limit among other things. In addition to this, the company silently launched another feature called Online Presence.
WhatsApp’s Online Presence feature, as the name suggests, enables WhatsApp users to hide their online status from select contacts. “Decide who sees your online status. Now you can chat with certain people without all your contacts knowing you’re there,” WhatsApp wrote in a post on social media.
In essence, this feature will let users choose the contacts with whom they want to interact by letting them know that they are online. Of course, this feature will not stop their other contacts from dropping them a message as and when required.
