What steps do I take to change my privacy settings on WhatsApp?
To change privacy settings on WhatsApp, users can follow a straightforward process. First, they should open the WhatsApp application on their device. Once opened, users need to navigate to the Settings option, which is usually found in the bottom right corner for iPhone users or in the top right corner for Android users, represented by three dots.
After selecting Settings, users should tap on the "Account" option. In the Account section, they will find a "Privacy" menu. Here, they can adjust various privacy settings including who can see their profile photo, last seen status, about information, and whether others can see if they are online. Users can choose from options like "Everyone," "My Contacts," or "My Contacts Except," offering greater control over their shared information.
Additionally, users may want to explore the "Blocked Contacts" section if they wish to manage their blocked contacts within WhatsApp. For more detailed information, it is advisable to check the current help section on the WhatsApp website.
