Prevent a contact from showing up in Whatsapp?

Prevent a contact from showing up in Whatsapp

So, I dont want some of my contacts to see my profile picture, last seen and status on contact so I have set my privacy settings to "My contacts only". But I want some phone numbers to be in the People App but not in Whatsapp.

I know this is possible because if I have some contacts on Facebook who have put their phone number up, it wont come up in Whatsapp favorites.

So is there a Contact provider app which allows me to save a contact in it and show up in People App but prevent it from showing up in Whatsapp. Facebook app can do this right away, but I have no idea how to ADD phone numbers that way

Go to your favourites, scroll to the contact, long tap on the name, delete.

Though that removes the contact from the list, the contact can still see my profile picture and status even though my privacy settings are set to "my contacts"
