A New Update from WhatsApp Disturbing Privacy Enthusiasts

WhatsApp is preparing to release a new update that will allow users to see which of their friends were active on the app recently. According to a beta test reported by WABetaInfo, the update will reveal who was online recently from the list of available contacts on WhatsApp for each user. This new update could pose a problem for those who value their privacy and prefer not to display their status on the app. The Metro website indicated that the goal is to encourage users to start new conversations by showcasing active users to everyone who has their numbers, thereby prompting them to chat with people they haven't interacted with before. Users will see a list of who was recently connected to the app from their contact list.
