Managing privacy settings for different WhatsApp chats involves controlling who can see your information, profile photo, status updates, and more. Here's how you can manage privacy settings on WhatsApp:

1. **Open WhatsApp**: Launch the WhatsApp application on your smartphone.

2. **Access Settings**: Tap on the three vertical dots in the top-right corner (on Android) or tap on `Settings` at the bottom right (on iPhone).

3. **Privacy Settings**:
   - **Account**: Here, you can manage who can see your profile information, including your profile photo, about info, and status updates.
     - **Profile Photo**: Choose between `Everyone`, `My Contacts`, or `Nobody`.
     - **About**: Choose between `Everyone`, `My Contacts`, or `Nobody`.
     - **Status**: Choose who can see your status updates: `My Contacts`, `My Contacts Except...` (select contacts excluded), or `Only Share With...` (select contacts included).
     - **Last Seen**: Choose who can see when you were last online: `Everyone`, `My Contacts`, or `Nobody`.
     - **Read Receipts**: Choose whether to send read receipts (blue ticks) to others or not.
   
4. **Blocking**: In `Settings` > `Account` > `Privacy`, you can also manage who can call you, send you messages, and view your WhatsApp profile photo and status.

5. **Group Privacy**: In `Settings` > `Account` > `Privacy` > `Groups`, you can choose who can add you to groups: `Everyone`, `My Contacts`, or `My Contacts Except...` (select contacts excluded).

By adjusting these settings, you can customize your privacy preferences for different aspects of WhatsApp, ensuring that your information and activities are shared only with the contacts or groups you choose.
