How can I Hide my “Last Seen” Status on Telegram

Today we want to show you How can I Hide my “Last Seen” Status on Telegram. The last seen status on the Telegram app indicates the most recent time a user was active on the platform. When you view your list of contacts on Telegram and select an individual profile, you may notice that some of them have a “recently” label next to their last online status.

In the Telegram app, selecting a contact who has chosen to hide their last seen status will display “recently” under the “Last Seen” section. This label signifies that the user’s last online status is unknown and may indicate that they are presently active on the platform. Only when you initiate a chat with such a contact and they begin typing, will their online status be revealed as “online”.

It’s crucial to note that concealing your last seen status on Telegram not only prevents other users from viewing your online status, but also restricts you from seeing theirs – even if their settings allow their online status to be visible to everyone else. Moreover, it’s important to bear in mind that even if a contact has not hidden their last seen status, you may still be unable to view their online status.

• and tap on the three horizontal lines located at the top of the screen

Finally, selecting “Nobody” ensures that no one on Telegram can view your online or offline status.
