WhatsApp is an amazing applicationto send and receive text or multimedia messages over the internet
without spending any dime for messaging charges. The cross-platform
application is easy to use and used by around 200 million people
worldwide.
WhatsApp has lots of interesting features but the “last seen” option can
be problematic if you don’t want to show someone when you have checked
the messages. Unfortunately Whatsapp doesn’t allow options for Invisible
or Offline like some other messaging services provide. So we have to
look for some external options other than Whatsapp itself to hide the
updated last seen time to others. Here are two different ways to fool
people with your last seen time.
Hide Last Seen time Using “Not Last Seen” App
You gonna love this! There is a simple app available called “Not Last Seen” to restrict WhatsApp to update the latest time on the screen. The app is not available in the Play store so you have to download the app from the link given in the article.
What it actually does it deactivate the data
connections while you open the WhatsApp screen so that the servers won’t
update with your latest check-in time.
- Download and install the Not Last Seen app from here (root not required).
- Open the app and enable ‘Block Last Seen!’
- Open the WhatsApp, now you will see the data connection went off automatically as soon as you open WA.
- Read and send the messages, then close the WA screen.
- Once you’re out of the WA screen, the data connection will enable automatically and will send the composed messages.
The app is easy to use and lifesaver for some people for sure.
How to Hide Last Seen time in WhatsApp Manually
You can also restrict WhatsApp to update the last
seen time by doing some manual steps. What you need to do is disable the
data network and WiFi before opening the WhatsApp screen.
- Once the internet access is disconnected open the WhatsApp, then read and send messages.
- Close the WA and enable the internet access. Once the internet connectivity is reestablished the app will synchronized with the servers and send your messages. But the servers won’t update with your last login time.
