According to WABetainfo, Android version 2.22.16.12 would allow users toaccess a new privacy setting. Users will be able to access the new featureby opening the app and navigating to Settings > Account > Privacy > Lastseen and online reveals an option to choose who can see you when you’reonline.
The option is directly tied in with the Last seen setting as you can onlychoose whether to have everyone know your availability or only those whocan see your last seen.
The interlinking of the last seen with the online status might seem odd butit makes sense. If you don’t want someone to see your last seen, then youwould definitely not want them to see your online status either. So itsaves the hassle of configuring two different settings.
