WhatsApp is implementing new security measures, to prevent unknown contacts can know whether or not we are connected to WhatsApp without ever chatting with them.This measure mainly affects those web pages that allow to know whether or not a number is online, although we do not have it added as contact.
This is a new WhatsApp privacy function that we will not have to activate, since the social network is automatically implementing it and, as we have been able to verify on the main websites to check whether or not a contact is online, it is already on going.
The status of a user on WhatsApp is ended up spying on
WhatsApp has confirmed through its technical support service that will make knowledge more complicated whether or not a person connected to the app.Until now, the online state was a public fact, but WhatsApp is updating its privacy functions so that it is not so easy to check this information.

The change will mainly affect those users who have our telephone number, but they do not have aggregates as contacts (nor us).Specifically, you can no longer consult if a contact is online from apps and webs.
In short, from now on you cannot know whether or not a number is online through apps or websites for it.The data ceases to be public and these services will show that the contact is disconnected, even if the app is open and is online.
