Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Can you Freeze the Last Seen on WhatsApp for One Contact?
No WhatsApp doesn’t allow users to freeze their last seen from specific contacts but you can hide it from your contacts by switching it to Nobody.
If you don’t want people who you’re not in your phone book to know your Last Seen time, you can simply switch to My Contacts. However, if you want to hide your Last Seen time from everyone, you should directly switch it to Nobody.
If you want to freeze your Last Seen so that it doesn’t get updated when you come online, you’ll need to open WhatsApp for reading the message after turning your wifi network or data connection off. Furthermore, you can’t connect your mobile to a data connection or wifi while you’re on WhatsApp.
Your Last Seen time won’t be updated when you don’t have a data or wifi connection turned on and it will stay the same.
2. Why Does Someone’s WhatsApp ‘Last Seen’ Not Update?
If someone’s Last Seen isn’t getting updated it’s possible that the person hasn’t appeared online since the last time.
However, it’s also possible that he or she has used the app after turning off the data connection or wifi which is why the WhatsApp server couldn’t update the last seen.
When you find that someone’s Last Seen isn’t getting updated for a long time, there’s also the possibility that the person is not using that particular WhatsApp account anymore or has uninstalled the application from his or her device. You can check it by sending a message to the user. If it shows double gray tick marks, then you can be sure that the message has reached the person, but if it shows just one gray mark and doesn’t get delivered, then it might be because the account isn’t used anymore.
If you can’t see someone’s Last Seen anymore, it is mainly because he or she has turned it off.
3. Why does Sender’s Last Seen Show Yesterday but Messaged You Today?
When you find someone’s Last Seen time is showing to be from yesterday but he or she has replied to your messages today, it’s because the user hasn’t actually opened the WhatsApp application to reply to your messages.
Users who allow receiving notifications for WhatsApp messages and calls can see the incoming WhatsApp messages from the notifications bar.
The message when received in the Notification Panel comes with two options Reply and Mark as read. By clicking Reply, the user can reply to the messages from the top notifications panel without opening WhatsApp.
Therefore, if the user has replied to you from the notification panel and hasn’t opened WhatsApp to reply, the Last Seen time doesn’t get updated.
Furthermore, if the user has opened WhatsApp and typed the messages after turning off the internet or wifi and then has closed the WhatsApp application and turned on the data connection to send the messages to the receiver, the Last Seen time doesn’t get updated and shows to be Yesterday.
As WhatsApp allows sending and receiving messages in the background, users can freeze their Last Seen time by turning off the data connection before opening WhatsApp and can again turn it on after closing WhatsApp. In the meantime, while he’s on the app, he can type the message he wants to send. The messages would automatically get sent after the user turns on the data connection.
