WhatsApp lets you control who can see your profile photo, helping you keep your account more private.

Open WhatsApp and tap the three-dot menu (Android) or go to Settings (iPhone).

Select Privacy, then tap Profile Photo to manage visibility.

Choose My Contacts Except… to hide your photo from selected people.

Now pick the contacts you want to block from seeing your profile picture.

Once saved, those contacts won’t be able to view your updated or existing photo.

You can change this anytime by returning to Privacy settings and adjusting the list.
