The new version of WhatsApp gets updated with cool new features like ability to hide your Last Seen status from others and animated emoticons which is currently under beta testing. To get these new stuff you have to update your WhatsApp to the latest version which you may do via Play Store or via WhatsApp official website[APK].
How To Hide You Last Seen
Once you've updated your WhatsApp to the latest version, go to Settings ,then select Accounts and then Privacy. You will now see the option "Last Seen" under 'Who can see my personal info'. Select this option and then choose your desired settings. [Note:- If you select 'Nobody' then you can't see other people's Last Seen.] You can also set who can see your Profile photo and Status in the same way.
How to send animated emojis
This time WhatsApp is testing out animated emoticons, which can be sent by selecting normal emojis from the emojis section. For testing purposes, WhatsApp has only revealed the animated Red Heart which can be found in the first section on emojis. The red heart starts beating when you send it to others. Once this becomes a success WhatsApp may release more emoticons in future updates.
WhatsMore?
WhatsApp introduced a new feature to backup your Chats to Google Drive using your Google Account. Once you've installed the latest updated version, you'll be prompted to choose the time interval of backups to be uploaded to Google Drive(Daily, Weekly etc). Once you've chosen your interval and signed in with your Google Account, you will now be able to retrieve your old chats when you install WhatsApp on a new phone or when you reinstall it.
