User can hide their online presence here. Since users can only decide whether to inform everyone that they are online or to inform only a specific group of users, the feature is included in the Last seen option.
The feature is still under development, as noted above, and has not yet been made available to beta testers. It is unclear when the feature will be available for Android WhatsApp users. Earlier this month, it was noted that the same functionality was tested for WhatsApp users on iOS.
Not only that, this week WhatsApp also allowed users to move their entire communication history from Android to iOS and vice versa. The functionality was added to the messaging app in a beta update after beta testers were able to access it for the first time for testing.
Through their website's FAQ page, WhatsApp also described how to transfer chat history. Unfortunately, the transfer of WhatsApp call history is not supported by the new feature. The feature was first introduced by WhatsApp at the Galaxy Unpacked presentation.
