Hmmm Nice method to hide last seen time but i am not understand why we have to hide this feature? :/
anyway.. nice article. keep it up (y)
You don’t HAVE to hide it, but some people don’t feel like letting everybody to know they already read a message that for some reason hasn’t been answered.
If for instance i use method 2 (closing and opening my wi-fi, whenever i wanna sent a message) when somebody new from my contact list opens his whatsapp to sent me a message, what will he see on my whatsapp as last seen? or will that be black for ever once used method 2?…
The user will be shown the Last Active Login time when you were using WhatsApp with your WiFi on and were active.
It would be nice if android also adds the feature of hiding the timestamp like IOS
Yes Sumitha right, Many users have wished for the same.
Hope the Developers work on it soon.
