There is no question that one of the most popular messenger app for the iPhone is WhatsApp Messenger. It is likely that texting is one of the main functions of your iPhone and while the default iOS Messages app does a decent enough job, it is hard not to see its limitations. For the best sort of SMS solution, many folks opt for WhatsApp as their primary replacement for the default Messages app. And being a cross-platform mobile messenger, it means that you will be able to send instant messages to folks that use a BlackBerry or Android device with no hitches. It even works in conjunction with other apps such as BiteSMS. In this short tutorial, we will be teaching you how to Hide Your Online / Offline Status on WhatsApp.
For a variety of reasons, there is a time where you just want to have privacy while using your iPhone. But it would be hard to have privacy when there are persons that are trying to contact you via WhatsApp Messenger. You can choose to ignore them but we all know some persons who can be rather persistent and can be just downright annoying. In that case, it would be best to hide online status on WhatsApp and not attract the attention of such people. How do you set your online status or last seen status on WhatsApp? Just follow the short tutorial below:
How to Hide Your Online or Last Seen Status on WhatsApp?
- Launch WhatsApp.
- Go to Settings by tapping the tab that's located at the bottom right.
- Go to Chat Settings, then tap Advanced.
- Now all you need to do is to toggle the "Last Seen Timestamp" option to OFF.
Now, that was not so hard, was it? If you don't want to hide Last Seen Status on WhatsApp, then you can always set the Last Seen Timestamp to ON. If you have any questions on how to hide Online Status on WhatsApp, let us know in the comments section.

In Android we can use “Block Whatsapp last seen”
application https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mega.nolastsee&feature=more_from_developer sorry for repeat
url not found:(
what about for android?
I have hidden the last seen status, and now want to on it back but unable to. Error message is unable to access to what’s appn service, pls try again later.
What can I do? Thank you
Few things you can try: 1. Make sure you have latest version of Whatsapp. 2. Re-install if you have latest version. 3. Check internet connection 4. Restart iPhone completely. 5. May actually be a Whatsapp server error on their side, so try again in a couple hours and see if it’s fixed then.
How did you hide it?
Can i hide my statuse from particular person without blocking him/her ?
1) can I select the ones(contacts) who can and cannot see my online and last seen status?2)when i’m online and chatting with someone will the online status appear or will it still be invisible to the person i’m talking to? 3)and are messages delivered as usual to the person who changed his/her status to unseen?
Hi.Can someone pls let me know how I apper of line via bb.. :(

i am receiving messages on my Whatsapp but i have not read any of them. i am trying to appear offline, or at least have my last seen to be several days back. will this work guys? please help because i really need to focus on what I’m doing without turning off my phone because I’m expecting important calls. please advice on any alternatives. i have an android phone.many thanks in advance.
hmm ders is a solutn………
That’s not correct actually! While it hides the Last Seen time, people can still see when you’re actually online as the word ‘Online’ still appears below the person’s name.
So when they send me messages will they see that i received it? Or that
influences the “last seen” setting only? For example, they send me a
message and it shows them 1 tick. When i go on and receive the message
will it show them 2 ticks? Or will only go to 2 ticks when i reply them?
How about for android phone? I can’t see the advanced tap under setting. Any idea? Thanks in advance. :)
It seems that the feature is not yet available for Android yet. So sorry, can’t help you yet. Might want to keep an eye for future updates though.
Sure, you can hide yours but you will also loose the possibility of seeing the ‘last seen’ of all other whatsapp contacts a the same time…
Mic, how should i do that? (android)
Thanks for the tip ;-)
No problem ;-)
Enjoy…
Just delete your profile and when you want to use it setup a new account m. Thats itt????
