Such a feature hasn't been changed and now I know why
WhatsApp only uploads phone numbers from your contacts. No other information. This is all documented here: https://faq.whatsapp.com/1191526044909364/
Who is "everyone"? Anyone that searches your name, or all your contacts? (I've never used WhatsApp.)
1. People in a conversation with you (including a group conversation you are added to, which I believe you can limit to require your consent) can see your phone number
2. People who already have your number in their contacts can see that your number is registered with WhatsApp
