Who still uses "last seen' option on Whatsapp?

[The_ONE]

Hi there,

Just curious to see who still uses the "last seen" option on Whatsapp and if not, can you possibly post a reason as to why you turned it off.

i switched mine off years ago coz my ex would type stuff randomly asking things or just saying things where one would need to respond otherwise you are in kak.

The girl you like turned hers off?

Also, people who also use their phone for work tend to disable it to deter people bothering them / expecting immediate responses.

Meh turn it off very rarely, mostly because I can read the message without going into the app so they wouldn't see I was active anyway.

I don't use it nor the delivery reports option.
Reason is I hate being pested by someone that I'm not in the mood to converse with.
An invisible option would be good as well. I am generally bothered by some folks as soon as it displays I'm online.
I don't need that to be honest. It seems people stalk you until you can talk, or when they think you can talk.

I leave mine on. Firstly, it's convenient for me to see when people like my mother was last on her phone (for safety reasons) as well as my boyfriend as we don't live together and it helps me gauge that he's at least okay especially if he is driving to/from work and I see he was online. It just gives me piece of mind that he is probably okay (I know whatsapp online/last seen can be off) if he was able to still send a quick text. I guess I'm just paranoid about my loved one's safety. Especially my parents as they are old and not street smart.

Secondly, I don't care if people see I was online and did not reply. The people who matter, knows I will reply WHEN and IF I can. Me and my boyfriend knows if there is a emergency, you call. Whatsapp is not for emergencies. If someone urgently needs me, they can call.

Mines off, for a few years now.

I have a another WhatsApp account I use to stalk people.

What's with weird poll?

I see no reason to have it off same reason I have leave read receipts on, if you online and you do not respond to me , you must have a good reason - It's not my issue or business the reason why.

It is useful if you want to check if someone still uses WhatsApp or if they away for a weekend. So if it is Sunday and the person was last seen on Friday, I will only message them in the week.
And if it is last seen like a month ago, they live in poverty, is dead or abandoned their whatsapp.

Why did you switch yours off @awvince ?

I deliberately leave last seen and blue ticks on. People must know when I’m ignoring them.

Are you a hot girl by any chance?

I wonder what gives you that impression?

For that you actually need to get messages.

Aww. Thank you @RedViking.
I'm letting off some unneeded frustrations by talking to everyone.

See, if MYBB had blue ticks I could have ignored you without having to post this.

I didn't even know you could turn it off LOL, but I agree, my phone my rules lump it if you don't like it.
