This guide contains steps on how to hide WhatsApp last seen on either iPhone or Android.

WhatsApp is arguably one of the best cross-platform messaging apps out there. Almost every smartphone user has the app installed on their one phone as it is to me, the best messaging app out there. WhatsApp has over 1 billion downloads on both the Google play store and the Apple app store which means it is widely used by Android and iOS smartphone users.

The platform has a lot of useful features, some of which we’ve talked about. Like the WhatsApp group Video Calling Feature. We’ve also written about some tricks on how to find out if someone has blocked you on WhatsApp and How to unblock yourself if indeed the person has blocked. Here, we will be teaching another trick, which is how to hide WhatsApp last seen.

Last seen is the way for people to know when last you came online or used the app. While this might be a good feature for some, it sure doesn’t sit well with some others. If you don’t want other people knowing or seeing your last seen on your WhatsApp profile then you can hide it. Usually, we were able to do this using an app called “Last Not Seen”. However, WhatsApp has seen added the option to turn it off in the app instead of using a third-party app.
