WhatsApp is one of the most popular communication platforms today, and I do not think the younger generation can live without it.
Adding a person to WhatsApp contact is the first step in developing a friendship, and joining WhatsApp groups with peers with similar interests is common.
Naturally, a person's WhatsApp contacts will grow over time and thus pose a privacy issue.
One of the privacy issues is your WhatsApp profile picture.
Everyone in your WhatsApp contact list can see your profile image by default.
Of course, you can set Nobody can see your profile photo. Then none of your friends will see your profile photo.
How about you want to hide your WhatsApp profile photo from a specific WhatsApp friend?
Yes, WhatsApp has a feature to hide your profile photo specifically from a few people without blocking them.

Now you will get a drop-down menu. Tap on the Settings.
