How to hide your Last Seen status on WhatsApp
If you’re the type who has a tendency to answer WhatsApp messages at your own (very slow) pace, then chances are you don’t want people knowing when you’re on the app.
With WhatsApp’s “Last Seen” and “Online” status features, it lets your contacts see the last time you used the app and when you’re currently using it, respectively.
For those who want to remain incognito, here’s how to hide your status in a few easy steps.
1) Go to Settings
Whether you’re using iOS or Android, the Settings menu will be the same. Tap on the icon in the right-hand corner of the app.
2) Tap on the Privacy section
Once you’re in the Settings menu, tap on the Privacy tab at the top.
3) Select the ‘Last Seen’ tab
By default, the Last Seen tab will say “Everyone,” when you first open it. Tap on it to open up the list of other options.
4) Tap on ‘Nobody’
When you’re in the Last Seen section, you’ll have the option to choose between “Everyone,” “My Contacts,” and “Nobody.” Simply click on the last one and you’re all set.
It’s also worth noting that if you hide your Last Seen status with everyone, then it also means you won’t be able to see other people’s status either.
But hey, I think that’s only fair.
