use feature that we will be going in depth to explore how to use this fascinating
feature. By default, your last seen status is shared with your contacts, which
means they can see when you were last online and used the app.
WHAT IS LAST SEEN?
Now, before we go further on to adjust the settings to your
needs, let us take time on what is meant by Last Seen. Last seen simply refers
to the last time you used WhatsApp or appeared on WhatsApp, through privacy
settings, you have the option to control who can see the last time you used the
app or appeared online. When you set this feature to ‘Nobody” or “Everyone”, it
means that you’re stopping your contact from seeing the last time you used the
app or appeared online.
ADJUST THE SETTING TO YOUR NEEDS?
Everyone: Here, is bound to see the last time anyone appeared
online as this feature is defiantly set to “Everyone” by WhatsApp whether you
saved their number in your contacts or not. You can Avoid this setting to
maximize privacy, as anyone who texts you on WhatsApp can see when you were
last online or appeared on WhatsApp.
My contacts: this means that only allow people whose numbers
you've saved in your phonebook to see your last seen status. It's probably the
option to pick, as only the people you know can see when you last used
WhatsApp, allowing you to maintain a modicum of privacy.
My contacts except: this will let all of your contacts see
when you were last online, except for the ones you select. This means that by
default, everyone whose number is saved in your phonebook can see when you last
used WhatsApp, except for the people you pick, who can't see it.
Nobody deactivates the last seen feature for your account,
meaning no one can see yours. It also means you can't see it for your contacts.
The Who can see when I'm online option is slightly
different. It lets you control whether people can see when you're currently
using your phone. This means that even if you prevent people from seeing
exactly when you were last online, they can see if you're currently using the
app. However, if you close the app, they won't see when you last used it,
depending on the settings you use for the Last seen status.
