WABetaInfo, a website that tracks WhatsApp, recently took to micro-blogging platform Twitter and wrote: "WhatsApp is developing a feature to choose 'My Contacts Except..' for your privacy settings, in a future update. More activations on iOS and Android are planned at a later date."

In its report, WABetaInfo revealed that the Meta-owned platform  is now developing the possibility to set “My Contact Except…” for your privacy settings right within WhatsApp Web/Desktop. As per the report, the option “My Contact Except…” will be available for Last Seen, About, Profile Photo.

When you select “My Contact Except…” you can choose who cannot see your information on WhatsApp. This feature will be likely released on WhatsApp Web/Desktop when WhatsApp has completely rolled out the same feature on Android beta and iOS beta.

Please note that beta testers cannot see and choose “My Contacts Except…” on WhatsApp Web/Desktop, even if the feature “My Contacts Except…” is already enabled for their WhatsApp account.

"Unfortunately, there isn’t a known release date for the feature to be enabled for more users on iOS and Android.When there will be other activations, I’m going to post something here," WABetaInfo noted.
