If you are in a chat window with a contact of yours, right under their name at the top of the screen it will tell you the last time that contact was active on WhatsApp. If that sounds like gibberish to you, check out the example photo below to see what we are talking about.

This is something that is automatically shown to anyone who is on WhatsApp chatting with you. You have a few options that allow you to modify who can actually see that information.
1. Launch WhatsApp from your Home screen.
2. Tap on the Settings tab. It's the little gear icon in the bottom right corner of your screen.
3. Tap on the Account button. It's the blue box with the white key in the middle.

Launch WhatsApp, tap on the setting tab, and then tap on account button.
4. Tap on the Privacy button.
5. Tap on the Last Seen button. This will show you a menu with three options.
  • Everyone (This means anyone on WhatsApp can see it, this is the default setting.)
  • My Contacts (This means only people you have in your contacts)
  • Nobody (This means no one can see this info and you can't see other peoples)
Tap on the Privacy button and then tap on the last seen button.

6. Tap on the 
option you desire
7. Tap on the back button. It's the blue chevron in the top left corner with the word "Privacy" next to it.

Tap on the option you want and then tap on the privacy button.
Now your new settings will be saved and you can enjoy the level of last-online privacy that you desire.
