How to Hide Last Seen and Online Status on Telegram

Telegram, just like other social media platforms like WhatsApp and Instagram, has implemented the last seen and online status feature. By default, Telegram users will be notified when another user was last using the app and when they come back online.

However, due to privacy concerns, the last seen and online status on Telegram can be hidden. Hiding the last seen and online status means that other people will not be notified when you last used the app, or when you are online.

On Telegram, you can hide the last seen and online status from all your contacts or a select few. In a previous related article, we discussed how you can hide your last seen and online status on Instagram. This piece highlights how you can hide your last seen and online status on Telegram.
