WhatsApp makes it really easy to hide your status updates from some selected or certain specific Contacts on both iPhone and Android Phone.
Hide Status From Some Contacts on WhatsApp
WhatsApp provides the option to upload photos and videos in the form of your daily status updates and share them with all your Contacts in WhatsApp.
