Several years ago, the company implemented 3 privacy settings which are Last Seen, Profile Picture, and Personal Information. These settings allow you to decide who can see this data when interacting with you on the app. To manage these privacy settings, the company has set 3 options Everyone, My Contacts, Nobody.
This means that if you don’t want a particular contact to see your last seen, you will have to set your last seen privacy setting to Nobody.
Today the company is finally working on introducing another option called “My contacts except…”, so you can finally enable and disable your last seen for specific contacts.
