By default, WhatsApp sets your privacy settings to allow:

• Any user to see your last seen, profile photo, about information, and read receipts
• Your contacts to see your status updates
• Any users to add you to groups

Change privacy settings

1. On:
   • Android: Tap More options > Settings > Account > Privacy.
   • iPhone: Tap Settings > Account > Privacy.
   • KaiOS: Press Options > Settings > Account > Privacy.
   • Desktop: Tap Menu > Settings > Privacy.

2. You can change who can:

   • See your Last Seen
   • See your Profile Photo
   • See your About information
   • See your Status updates
   • See Read Receipts
   • Add you to Groups

Note:

• If you don't share your last seen, you won't be able to see other users’ last seen.
• If you turn off read receipts, you won't be able to see read receipts from other users. Read receipts are always sent for group chats.
• If a contact has turned off read receipts, you won’t be able to see if they’ve viewed your status updates.
• There’s no way to change who can see when you’re online or typing....
