It’s time for you to bring out your ”tech-savvy”. By learning how to hide last seen on WhatsApp
Last seen on WhatsApp simply means the last time you were online. With this information in the ”visible mode”, all your contacts and everyone that has you on their WhatsApp will know when you are online or when last you where online. On the contrary with this information hidden, no one will know when last you were online.
It’s more like being anonymous.
Now, it all begins with having the latest version of the WhatsApp messenger. To do this, you need to install the app from Google Play store for Android and on iTunes Store for iPhone.
How to Hide Last Seen on WhatsApp
1. Open WhatsApp.
2. Look to the top right corner for a “3-dot vertically arranged symbol”
3. A drop-down box will appear with new group, new broadcast….and settings as the last. Click on Setting
4. Click on Account.
5. Under ACCOUNT, click on Privacy
6. Choose from the list who will see your last seen.
When you click on the last seen a box pops up showing three options. EVERYONE, MY CONTACTS, NOBODY. Select which group of people you want to share your last seen information with.
EVERYONE: Your last seen info will be visible to all.
MY CONTACTS: Your last seen info will be restricted to only your WhatsApp contacts.
NOBODY: Here, no one gets information on when you were last online but when you are online, it will be seen that you are active.
NOTE: If you set your last seen status to NOBODY, you will, unfortunately, lose access to seeing other people’s last seen status. The Hide Last Seen Feature cannot hide your online status. Whenever you are online on WhatsApp, it will be visible to your contacts.
All the steps mentioned above is applicable to Android, iPhone and IOS devices provided the WhatsApp is running on the latest version.
