JAKARTA - The company announced several updates to WhatsApp beta in the future for Android, iOS and desktop. This feature can be said to be a feature that is requested by many users, namely a feature that allows users to turn off their online status on WhatsApp.

It seems that WhatsApp heard the wishes of its users. Launching WABetainfo, the company is developing a feature that allows users to hide online status on WhatsApp.

According to the screenshots taken by WABetainfo, it works similarly to other WhatsApp features that allow you to hide profile photos, and statuses.

Here, users can choose who can see online status on WhatsApp. Then, the user will see two options, namely "Everyone" and "Same as Last Seen".

So, if a user selects the "My Contacts" option for setting who can see last seen, then that will also apply to their online status.

WhatsApp plans to introduce the same feature in future WhatsApp beta updates for Android, iOS, and Desktop beta.

Unfortunately, this feature is still under development, so it is not possible to know details about when this feature will be released to the public. Previously, WhatsApp was also rumored to be developing a new tool to be released for WhatsApp Business that would allow them to create "Orders" directly in their chats with their customers.

Just like this new "online" feature, the order feature on WhatsApp is also still in development, so it's not ready to be used for now.
