The option will be made available in your “last seen” option. The option will soon be called as “Last Seen & Online” option. Where you will be able to select from two options “everyone” or “same as last seen” for your Online indictor. So whatever you select as your last seen, the same can be applied to your online indicator. So you will have the option from everyone, my contacts, my contacts except & nobody.

However the testing phase is still on the and screen shot is taken on IOS but it is soon planning to introduce the same feature in WhatsApp beta for Android and Desktop beta as well.
