Hide WhatsApp Last Seen
The “Last Seen” feature in WhatsApp is enabled by default on your iPhone and Android Phone and this provides accurate information to others about when you were Last Seen or active on WhatsApp.
This information can be used by your Contacts to guess whether or not you have seen or read their Messages.
Also, if you were checking WhatsApp at 3 AM, it provides a reason for others to start wondering as to what you were doing at such an hour at night.
Luckily, WhatsApp allows you to set the “Last Seen” stamp to any of the following 3 settings.
- Everyone: Last Seen status will be available to All WhatsApp users.
- My Contacts: Last Seen status will only be available to your Contacts.
- Nobody: Hides “Last Seen” status from everyone.
