If I am deleted from contacts in WhatsApp, will I see their online time - briefly?

If you are deleted from someone's contacts on WhatsApp, you will not be able to see their online status or the last time they were active. This is because your conversation with them will no longer appear in your chat list, and you will lose access to any real-time status updates associated with that contact.

If I am deleted from contacts in WhatsApp, will I see their online time - in detail?

If you are deleted from someone's contact list on WhatsApp, your ability to see their online status and last seen timestamp may be affected. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what happens:

  1. Online Status: When someone is active on WhatsApp, an "Online" indicator appears next to their name in the chat list. If you have been deleted from their contacts, you will not see this status. The online indicator is primarily visible to users who are part of each other's contact lists.
  2. Last Seen Timestamp: WhatsApp allows users to control who can see their last seen timestamp and online status through privacy settings. If someone has set their privacy settings to "My Contacts" or "Nobody," you will not be able to see their last seen timestamp if you are no longer in their contact list. However, if the user has set their privacy settings to "Everyone," you might still be able to view their last seen timestamp even after being deleted from their contacts.
  3. Read Receipts and Delivery Status: Similarly, read receipts (blue ticks) and delivery statuses (gray ticks) are also influenced by these privacy settings. If the user has restricted visibility to "My Contacts," you will not receive read receipts or delivery status updates after being deleted from their contacts.
  4. Profile Picture: The visibility of a user's profile picture is also governed by their privacy settings. If set to "My Contacts" and you are removed, you won’t be able to see their profile picture.
  5. Status Updates: WhatsApp status updates (photos, videos, text) also follow these visibility rules. If the user has restricted status visibility to "My Contacts," you will not see their status updates after being deleted from their contacts.

In summary, your ability to see someone's online time and other related information on WhatsApp depends heavily on that person’s privacy settings. If they have set restrictions, deleting you from their contact list will limit what you can see about their activity on the platform.
