With WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.22.16.12, the folks at WABetaInfo could access a new privacy setting. Based on the report, opening the app and navigating to Settings > Account > Privacy > Last seen and online reveals an option to choose who can see when you’re online. The option is directly tied in with the Last seen setting as you can only choose whether to have everyone know your availability or only those who can see your Last seen.The company’s decision to keep online availability dependent on the Last seen status might seem amiss, but it does make sense.

So it saves you the hassle of configuring two different settings.It seems like a straightforward addition at best.
