On February
21, it was reported that WhatsApp had brought the 'last seen' notification to
Android devices, a feature which was already present on iOS devices. Now,
according to recent studies, WhatsApp is bringing the hiding of the 'last seen'
status feature to the Windows Phone application too.
Reports
claim that the updated WhatsApp for Windows Phone app is in personal beta
(supposedly version 380), and it has been presented only to a choose list of
users. Besides the 'last seen' status notification, the updated app as well
brings in the background gallery. It is best to assume that there will be a
massive update in the coming days for the WhatsApp for Windows Phone app.

Reports of
the WhatsApp for Windows Phone app in personal beta claim users will also be
capable of controlling who in their contact lists view their profile picture as
well as status, via the privacy control settings. The reports also mention that
in the event users hides their status, they will not have the ability see the
statuses of their contacts as well.
Yet another
new feature supposedly included in the WhatsApp for Windows Phone app is the
Background Gallery. The team at WhatsApp has been said to get added 6 new
background wallpapers in addition to enabling users to take images, select
pictures from your album, search photos from the net as well as remove photos.
In addition, features such as Media Autodownload and also Custom notification
have also been spotted in the beta version.
There is
still no word from the cross-platform messaging app developers as to when the
updated app will go live, but it would be interesting to see as and when it
does, how will it be received by users. Lots of discussion regarding Windows
Phone as a platform not being an interesting 1 for app developers is going
around, but, with the same updates rolling out for Windows Phone as are being
rolled out for the Android and iOS platform, it looks like the attitude might
be changing.
