Last Seen Visibility Query
January 17, 2025 · AI Conversations
But last seen showing in grey background 2 hours ago
1. **Profile Picture Visible**: This indicates you're allowed to view their profile picture, as they haven't restricted it for your contact.
2. **Last Seen Greyed Out**: A greyed-out "last seen" with a timestamp often means that:
– They have customized their **Last Seen** visibility to exclude you or only show it to a select group of people.
– You might still see the timestamp of when they were last active if they haven't completely hidden it.
To check further:
– On apps like WhatsApp, verify if you're included in their **privacy settings** for **Last Seen and Online**.
– If you're still able to see their profile pic, you're likely not fully blocked but may have restrictions applied to your contact.
Let me know the specific app or context for more tailored guidance!
1. **They Were Online 2 Hours Ago**: This timestamp shows the last time they were active in the app or available online. It’s accurate if they haven’t set restrictions for their **Last Seen** visibility.
2. **Grey Background**: This could be a design feature of the app, typically used to indicate offline status or inactivity.
### Possible Scenarios
– **Privacy Settings**: The person allows you to see their **Last Seen** but hasn't been online for 2 hours.
– **Not Currently Active**: They’ve been away from the app, hence the "2 hours ago" status.
– **Technical Glitch**: If the timestamp feels inconsistent (e.g., they're actively chatting but it still shows 2 hours ago), it could be a sync issue or a delay in updating their status.
Would you like to confirm for any specific app (e.g., WhatsApp, Telegram)?
1. **Current Status**:
– The person hasn't opened the app since yesterday at 21:01.
– If they appear offline since then, it's simply because they haven't been active.
2. **Privacy Settings**:
– They might have restricted their "Last Seen" visibility to specific people. However, since you can see the timestamp, you're likely included in their visible list.
3. **Blocked or Muted**:
– If you're blocked, you wouldn't see their "Last Seen" or profile picture updates. Since you can still view these, you're not blocked.
– Being muted by them doesn't affect your ability to see their activity.
If you suspect there's an issue (like the timestamp isn't updating but you know they are online), it might be a glitch in the app or their settings. Let me know which app you're referring to for tailored troubleshooting steps!
