WhatsApp Spotted Testing a Custom Privacy Setting for Profile Photos on Android

According to a rumor, WhatsApp for Android is testing a profile photo privacy feature that would allow users to conceal their profile images from specified contacts. The unique privacy setting might be used in conjunction with the current choices to reveal your profile photo to everyone, all contacts, or nobody. The change is said to be part of WhatsApp's enhanced privacy settings, which will also include Last Seen and About status updates.

According to WABetaInfo, a WhatsApp beta tracker, WhatsApp for Android beta version 2.21.21.2 has references to the new profile photo privacy feature. According to a screenshot supplied by the source, the new privacy option for the profile photo would be My contacts except..., which is accessible alongside the existing Everyone, My contacts, and Nobody privacy choices. The new feature will allow you to choose certain contacts from the list of individuals who will be able to see your profile photo.
