WhatsApp, the popular instant messaging app, has rolled out a new update which gives its users the ability to hide the “Last seen at” timestamp from anyone.
This feature was earlier available only in WhatsApp for iPhone and it required Android users to download an apk file named “Last not seen” to hide the ‘last seen at’ timestamp.
