The application allows you to hide the time from everyone or only from contacts, but there is no way to specifically choose which people can see it. Luckily, the developers are working on improving this aspect.

But we all have friends, family or ex-partners who we would like to block access to that data without removing them from the contact list . Being able to manually choose each person is an important leap in privacy.
