How to see visit time in WhatsApp if it's hidden - in detail?

To see the last visit time of a contact in WhatsApp when it is hidden, users can follow these detailed steps:

  1. Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your device. Ensure that you have an active internet connection for real-time updates.
  2. Navigate to Contacts: Go to the 'Contacts' tab or section where all your contacts are listed. You can usually find this option at the bottom of the screen.
  3. Select the Contact: Tap on the contact whose last visit time you wish to see. This will open the chat window for that specific contact.
  4. Check the Top Bar: In the chat window, look at the top bar where the contact's name is displayed. Next to their name, you should see their profile picture and status information. If the last visit time is not immediately visible, proceed to the next step.
  5. Use the Contact Info Option:

    • For iOS users: Tap on the contact's name at the top of the chat window. This will bring up a dropdown menu. Select 'View Contact'.
    • For Android users: Tap on the three dots (⋮) in the upper right corner of the chat window, then select 'View Contact'.
  6. Check for Last Seen Information: In the contact information screen, look for the 'Last Seen' section. This will display the last time the contact was active on WhatsApp, including the date and time. If this information is still not visible, it might be hidden due to privacy settings.
  7. Understand Privacy Settings: WhatsApp allows users to control who can see their last seen status. If you cannot view the last visit time of a contact, they may have set their privacy settings to 'Nobody'. This means that no one, not even you, can see when they were last active on WhatsApp.
  8. Alternative Method - Check Delivery Receipts: If the last seen status is hidden, you can still get an idea of when the contact was last active by checking the delivery receipts (checkmarks) next to your messages. However, this method is not as precise and depends on whether the contact has read your message or not.
  9. Request Last Seen Status: If you have a legitimate reason to know the last seen status of a contact (e.g., for work or safety reasons), you can politely ask them to change their privacy settings temporarily so that you can view this information. However, respect their decision if they choose not to do so.

By following these steps, users can attempt to see the last visit time of a contact in WhatsApp even when it is hidden due to privacy settings.
