WhatsApp Messenger, or simply WhatsApp, is an American freeware, cross-platform centralized instant messaging (IM) and voice-over-IP (VoIP) service owned by Meta Platforms. It allows users to send text messages and voice messages, make voice and video calls, and share images, documents, user locations, and other content. WhatsApp's client application runs on mobile devices but is also accessible from desktop computers, as long as the user's mobile device remains connected to the Internet while they use the desktop app. The service requires a cellular mobile telephone number to sign up.

Last Seen Settings</h3>Under Who can see my Last Seen, choose from:<ul><li>Everyone</li><li>My contacts</li><li>My contacts except… (you can select specific people)</li><li>Nobody</li></ul>&nbsp;<h3>2. Online Status Settings</h3>Under Who can see when I’m online, pick:<ul><li>Everyone</li><li>Same as Last Seen (mirrors your above selection)</li></ul>&nbsp;These options give you more control over your visibility and help you manage your privacy on your own terms.
