Hide "Last Seen" Timestamp On WhatsApp
In WhatsApp there is one feature known as "Last Seen". This allows the other user to see when was the last time you logging in to WhatsApp and used it, either by only seeing the messages. This was not accepted by many of the user. Many of the WhatsApp addicted user felt that somehow this feature is spoiling their privacy by letting other know when they used WhatsApp last time. Many of them were searching for some third-party apps to hide or disable this feature.
But now there is no need of any third-party app. WhatsApp has finally rolled out the feature to disable to the 'Last Seen' timestamp on Android smartphones. While this feature has been available for iPhone for long, Android users have got this option recently.
How to disable "Last Seen" option from WhatsApp:
1. Assuming that you have updated your WhatsApp to version 2.11.186.
Note: To check the version, Go to Settings -> Help -> About. Scroll down if you don't get this update.
2. Now run your WhatsApp and click on the Option Button and select Settings.
3. Now click on Account and select Privacy option.
4. The first option says 'Last Seen'.
5. Click on Last Seen and select the option you want. The options available are Everyone, My Contacts & Nobody.
Note: One thing to remember, if you choose to hide your timestamp, you wont be able to see others timestamp too. Now this is something interesting ;-)
Along with hiding your timestamp, aka, Last Seen, you also get the option to hide your "Profile photo" and "Status". You get the same options, Everyone, My Contacts & Nobody. You can say that this can be a bonus for you. This bonus feature is yet to debut in iOS.
If you don't have the updated version or you haven't upgraded your WhatsApp, click here to download the latest .apk
