This will not only eliminate the ‘Last Seen’ information for you, but also for anyone else. Luckily, it’s super easy to disable this information in WhatsApp’s settings: Open WhatsApp, tap on ‘ Account‘, select ‘ Privacy‘, then select ‘ Last Seen‘, and activate ‘ Nobody‘. It will neither speed up the response time, nor will it help you figure out when you will get an answer. So, it’s time to get rid of this ‘last seen’ information – it’s an information that is of no use.

Sometimes because you get too many messages, sometimes because you are waiting for someone special to respond to a message. But it also has great potential to cause a lot of stress. WhatsApp is a great tool to stay connected with family & friends.
