How to hide Last Seen and About on WhatsApp? Learn the easy way
WhatsApp has become more than just a messaging app, but an integral part of our everyday conversations. As such, many users are concerned about their privacy. If you don't want everyone to be able to see your Last Seen or About, WhatsApp gives you several options to control these.
In this article, we'll learn who can see Last Seen and About on WhatsApp, how to control it, and what to keep in mind to improve your privacy.
What is Last Seen and About of WhatsApp?
Last Seen shows you the last time you used WhatsApp. In the About section, you can add a short status or description, such as "Available," "Busy," or a custom message.
If this information were visible to everyone, others could learn about your online activity. That's why WhatsApp allows you to control it.
How to change the privacy of Last Seen and About?
To change these settings in WhatsApp, follow these simple steps:
Open WhatsApp.
Select Privacy.
Tap Last Seen & Online.
Choose the option that best suits your needs.
Then go to About and decide who can see your profile information.
Available Privacy Options
WhatsApp usually offers the following options:
Everyone – Anyone can see your Last Seen or About.
My Contacts – Only your saved contacts will be able to see this information.
Nobody – No one will be able to see your Last Seen.
What happens if you hide Last Seen?
If you hide your Last Seen from someone, you generally won't be able to see other people's Last Seen either. This feature is implemented in WhatsApp to maintain privacy.
Why limit About?
It's not necessary to show your About to everyone. If many people have your number, it may be better for your privacy to limit your About to just your contacts.
