**How to Hide [WhatsApp's](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/32503/what-is-whatsapp) Last Seen** \
Step 1: Open the **WhatsApp app** and go to the **Settings** area if you want to hide your last saw. \
Step 2: Next, go to the **Account** area and select **Privacy** from the drop-down **menu**. It's worth noting that whatever changes you save will apply to the **messaging app's mobile and web versions**. \

Step 3: Select the **Last Seen option** and set the Setting to **'Nobody.'** \
Note that you have three options: **'Everyone,' 'My Contacts,' and 'Nobody.'** The first simply means that everyone with your WhatsApp number will be able to view your most recent location. If you choose the second option, only your contacts will be able to see your last seen on WhatsApp. Nobody will be able to see your WhatsApp last seen if you enable the 'Nobody' option. You can choose any of the last seen options at any moment.
