The "hidden mode" feature means you can keep some of your information secret from specific people in your contacts. The feature will allow you to choose several privacy options for each setting, including making them visible for nobody, everyone, all of your contacts, and all of your contacts with specified exceptions.
If you decide to restrict a particular person from looking at your personal information, then you will not be able to see their details. The feature is currently being rolled out on the general version of the app, so you'll need to check your Apple App Store or Google Play Store to check if you have the update available.
