How to Customize Your WhatsApp Privacy Settings

By default, WhatsApp allows anyone to see your read receipts, last seen time, about section, and profile photo. In addition, your contacts can see any status updates you make. You have full control over your WhatsApp privacy, so you can easily change any of these settings. And if anyone ever makes you feel uncomfortable, you can always block them. Every user has different requirements for their personal privacy. In WhatsApp, you can adjust and customize your Privacy settings from the Account page.

How to Turn On Disappearing Messages in WhatsApp

For extra privacy, you can set your messages in a chat to expire after a period of 24 hours, seven days, or 90 days. To use this feature with a particular chat, open the chat, and then tap the other person’s name > Disappearing Messages > On and pick a duration. You’ll typically turn this feature on per chat, but you can make it the default by going to Settings > Account > Privacy > Default Message Timer and choosing how long you want your messages to stick around.
