The last seen at time displayed on Whatsapp would have probably caused more fights than you could have imagined. You could know this when there is someone who stalks your Whatsapp profile every single minute. For those who don’t know what I am talking about here’s a small description for it.
The last seen time in Whatsapp is the time that is shown to anybody who opens your chat window. So if you even enter Whatsapp that would be your last seen time even if don’t go through any of the chats. This gets troublesome when time permits you to only read the messages and not respond.
People would actually hate you for reading their messages and not replying to them. If you have a girlfriend or a boyfriend it’s even worse. If your boyfriend or girlfriend is too possessive you would definitely get into lot of fights as it can mean a lot of things.
Here’s how you can get rid of it by simply hiding the time you were last seen on WhatsApp!
Here’s how you can hide your last seen time on Android based devices. You can either do it manually or you can use an app to get this done.
