How to make was recently online appear in WhatsApp - in detail?
To display the "last seen at" status on WhatsApp, users need to ensure that their privacy settings allow others to view this information. Here is a detailed guide on how to achieve this:
- Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your mobile device.
- Access Settings: Tap on the three vertical dots in the upper-right corner of the screen to open the menu, and then select "Settings".
- Navigate to Account: In the Settings menu, find and tap on "Account" to access account-related settings.
- Privacy Settings: Within the Account section, look for and tap on "Privacy". This is where you can manage various privacy aspects of your WhatsApp profile.
- Last Seen Setting: In the Privacy menu, find the option labeled "Last Seen" or "Last Seen & Status". Tap on it to see the available options for managing who can view your last seen status.

Choose Who Can See Your Last Seen Status: You will be presented with several options:
- Everyone: This option allows all WhatsApp users to see when you were last online.
- My Contacts: Only the contacts saved in your phone can view your last seen status.
- Nobody: Choosing this option hides your last seen status from everyone, including your contacts and people who are not in your contact list.
- Select Your Preference: To make "was recently online" appear for others, select the "Everyone" option. This setting ensures that anyone who views your profile will be able to see when you were last active on WhatsApp.
- Confirm Your Choice: After selecting "Everyone", confirm the change by tapping "OK".
By following these steps, you ensure that your last seen status is visible to all users on WhatsApp. It's important to note that while this setting allows others to see when you were last active, it does not provide real-time tracking of your online status but rather shows the approximate time of your last activity. Additionally, if you have blocked a contact or they have blocked you, neither of you will be able to view each other's last seen status.
