WhatsApp beta users can now take advantage of the latest feature of the messaging app - namely the ability to hide from your contacts whether or not you are online.

The feature can be seen as a deepening of the ability to hide the last time you were in the messaging app, and like this option already available in the app, you can hide the information from all your contacts, just some of them, or all of them.

Says the WABetaInfoNews to the Minute reported that this new feature is only available for users of the beta version of WhatsApp, so it will be a matter of time before it is released in the final version of the app.
