“Last Seen” is a feature of WhatsApp which shows the time of the user’s last access to the messenger. For security and privacy reasons, many users choose to hide this information from all friends or strangers. With the new tool, you will be able to choose which people, among your contacts, the status will not be shown.

It is worth remembering that the “Last Seen” is different from the “Online” Status, which needs to be configured separately. The latter also allows it to be set for sharing in three layers, between “All My Contacts”, “My Contacts Except” and “Share to Only”.
