Social networks and applications like WhatsApp are a tool for spies and gossips. They look at your photos, check your statuses, your profile information, how much you last connected, etc.
Now, with the latest WhatsApp update it will not be possible for strangers or those with whom you have never messages to know whether or not you are online.

This new function aims to increase user privacy and protect them from prying eyes by default, that is, you will not have to do anything or modify your settings.
So far, the status "online" It was a public data, which now will not be available neither for the numbers that you do not have in contact nor for those with whom you have not chatted before.
They will also not be able to see your last connection time if you configure it, although this does not imply a change because this option was already available in the privacy settings of your WhatsApp profile.
Keep in mind that if you have configured your privacy settings to hide your "last time", you will not be able to see the last time of others either. Also remember that "online" means that someone has WhatsApp open in the foreground on the device and has an Internet connection. However, that does not imply that the contact has seen your message.
The WhatsApp support team has reported that this new feature will not change your settings regarding your contacts and those with whom you have previously chatted. It is only a plus of security for those who are strangers.
