How to disable privacy settings in WhatsApp - in detail?

Disabling privacy settings in WhatsApp can be a sensitive topic, as these features are designed to protect users' personal information and communication. However, there may be instances where you need to adjust these settings for specific purposes. Here is a detailed guide on how to disable certain privacy settings in WhatsApp:

1. Last Seen:

   • Open WhatsApp and tap on the three dots (⋮) located at the top right corner of the screen.
   • Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
   • Navigate to "Account."
   • Tap on "Privacy."
   • Under the "Last Seen" section, choose "Nobody." This will disable your last seen status for all contacts.

2. Profile Photo:

   • In the same "Privacy" settings menu, find the "Profile Photo" section.
   • Select "Nobody" to hide your profile photo from everyone.

3. About:

   • Tap on the three dots (⋮) located at the top right corner of the Status screen.
   • Select "Status Privacy."
   • Choose "Only share with..." and select specific contacts or groups if you want to limit visibility, or choose "My contacts" except for those you don't want to see your status updates.
