It further said, "After implementing some new methods to protect user privacy, WhatsApp is now working on the ability to specify "My Contact Except..." for your privacy settings right within WhatsApp Web/Desktop!" according to WABetaInfo. The option "My Contact Except..." will be available for Last Seen, About, and Profile Photo, according to the source. You can specify who can't see your information on WhatsApp when you select "My Contact Except...".

As per WABetaInfo reports, this feature will initially be available for Desktop users and later will be available for Android and iOS users. As of now, there is no intimation of when the feature will be available for users but it is soon to be announced.
