Watusi is a tweak launched last evening in Cydia, and with its help we can implement a multitude of new functions for the application WhatsApp Messenger from App Store.
According to the description made by the developers, the tweak allows us to: display only the last time for logging into the application, disable reading reports, increase the length of sent messages, arrange pictures in the profile boxes, send multiple pictures to friends, display the send button even when we are disconnected, we display a message asking if we want to call a person, we apply a black keyboard, we hide the timestamps of the messages, we change the fonts and not only that.

allows you to block contacts from watching your picture/status/last seen only if you have set 'My contacts' in WhatsApp privacy settings. - Your contacts will not see that you have received their messages.
