Whatsapp Business Users Will Soon Be Able To Hide From Needy Customers
https://www.techradar.comIn the latest beta version of the WhatsApp Android app, companies are being given different treatment to the average user, with business users’ online status hidden from view.
In addition to not revealing whether a business account is online or not, the WhatsApp beta also hides “last seen” information.
The hiding of online statuses and “last seen” data is currently limited to the beta version of WhatsApp for Android. This information is still visible in both the iOS app and the web version of WhatsApp.
It’s hard to say whether WhatsApp is simply using Android as a testing ground for the feature before a wider rollout, but it is hard to imagine different information being available through different platforms in the long term.
