In case you do not want unknown people to see your display, you can select the “Contacts Only” option. Post this, users can also choose to delete the numbers of such unwanted contacts so that they no longer have access to your display picture.
WhatsApp also allows users to hide their display picture from everyone if they want to.
Just like display picture, users now have a choice to hide their “last seen” status from individuals on the platform. You just need to follow the above-mentioned steps, but instead of “profile picture”, you need to go to the “Last seen” category.
