Remember, showing online doesn't mean that person is using WhatsApp instead, it shows that they have their WhatsApp open on one or several devices.
On the other hand, online shows that the contact is currently using WhatsApp. For those contacts with last seen being a couple, it can simply show something like this "Last seen today at 19:22 am." Ideally, it usually shows the date when that contact hasn't been online on WhatsApp for weeks or months, but when the person was online hours or a few minutes ago, it shows time. It can show time like today, 9:05 pm, or the date and time, for example, 7th June 2023. The 'last seen' shows the last time your contact last used WhatsApp. Unfortunately, this feature is under development so we do not know the details about when it will be released to the public.1How to See When Someone Was Last Active on WhatsAppĪs noted above, two status shows when your contact last used WhatsApp: Online and Last seen. Note that, even if the screenshot is taken during the development of WhatsApp beta for iOS, WhatsApp is planning to introduce the same feature in a future update of WhatsApp beta for Android and Desktop beta as well.
Unfortunately, people that we already chatted with could still see when we were online but thanks to the new privacy setting “who can see when I’m online”, they won’t be able to do it anymore. Last year, WhatsApp started automatically hiding the last seen to contacts you never chatted with, in order to prevent third-party apps from monitoring our last seen and online status. For example, if you choose “My contacts” for “Last Seen” and “Same as Last Seen” for “online”, it means non-contacts won’t be able to see when you’re online. As you can see in this screenshot, it will be possible to configure who can see when we are online right within our last seen settings thanks to two new options: “Everyone” and “Same as Last Seen”.
