You know that if your "last seen" status is active in WhatsApp, it lets your audience know when you last visited WhatsApp. To see the "last seen" status in WhatsApp, just open your conversation page (chat) with the person you want. Below the name of the contact and next to their profile picture, you can see their "last seen" status. Sometimes you may see no such information. WhatsApp has settings through which you can specify who will see when you are online or "last seen" status on WhatsApp. You may not want anyone to have access to this information at all. All you have to do is go through the WhatsApp settings and disable this option.
