How to see the last login on WhatsApp even if hidden
It’s about a couple of hours that you sent a message to WhatsApp to your friend Luca, but he still did not answer. Your sixth sense tells you that he is busy chatting with his girlfriend, and so you tried to see when it was the last time he connected to WhatsApp but … the data in question is not available! Do you know why? Most likely your friend has hidden this information by changing the privacy settings of his account.
Are you wondering if there is a way to see the last login on WhatsApp even if hidden? We say that the answer is “ni”. At present it is not possible to know with certainty when a user has connected to WhatsApp in case he has decided not to publish this information. During the tutorial, however, I will reveal a small “trick” that will allow you at least to understand if a user is online at a given time. In case it was you to change the privacy settings, however, you just restore the original settings to go back to see the last access to (almost) all your contacts, since it has been hidden so far.
So, I intrigued you and now you would like to go further into the subject? Courage: make yourself comfortable, take all the time necessary to concentrate on reading the next paragraphs and, more importantly, implement the “tips” that I will give you. There is nothing left to do but to wish you a good reading!
How to see the last login on WhatsApp even if hidden – Change the privacy settings of WhatsApp
How to see the last login on WhatsApp even if hidden
Have you changed the privacy settings of WhatsApp by deciding not to show your contacts when you have logged in? In this case, if you want to see the last access on WhatsApp even if it is hidden (at least so far), you will have to change the privacy settings again and also make the data of your last access visible. This “compromise” is necessary if you want to “spy” your friends on WhatsApp. Obviously, if you change your mind, you will be able to retrace your steps when you consider it most appropriate: the action is indeed reversible.
Of course, if one of your contacts has hidden his last access or blocked you, you will not be able to see his “movements” by changing the settings in question (although in the second part of the tutorial I will reveal some trick to know when a person is online on WhatsApp).

If you use an Android device and want to change the privacy settings related to the last access on WhatsApp, the first step you need to do is start the messaging app, press the button (⋮) located at the top right and select the item Settings from the menu that appears.

Then tap on Last access and put the check mark next to the All option if you want to make sure that everyone can see the date of your last access to WhatsApp, or presses on the option My contacts to make sure that only Your contacts may have the opportunity to know when it was the last time you connected to the instant messaging platform.

From this moment on, you can go back to see the last access of your contacts (except for those that have in turn changed the privacy settings of WhatsApp and have decided not to publish this information). In case of change of mind, you can change the settings of WhatsApp again and make the data related to your last access invisible by going to Settings> Account> Privacy and then choosing the None option for the Last Access function.
I also remind you that if you have blocked a user on WhatsApp, you will not be able to view his last access until you unlock it. To proceed in this direction, go back to the WhatsApp Settings, go to Account, then Privacy and select the option Blocked Contacts: N located at the bottom (in the Messages section). At this point you should see the list of all contacts locked inside: tap the name of the contact you want to unlock and select the item Unblock [Name] from the box that opens, so you can return to see his last access.

How to see the last login on WhatsApp even if hidden – Monitor who has hidden the last access on WhatsApp
How to see the last login on WhatsApp even if hidden
If you have come to read up to this point of the guide, evidently the instructions I gave you so far have not been useful to see the last access on WhatsApp of some of your contacts, who have probably changed their privacy settings regarding the data of the last accesses.
In this case, you can implement a small “trick” to see if a user is online or not. What am I referring to? The ability to monitor who has hidden the last access on WhatsApp. How can you do this? Open the chat for the user whose last access you can not see and wait patiently for this to connect to the instant messaging service.
Even if you have changed the privacy settings related to the last access, you can see the word Online immediately under its name as soon as it connects to WhatsApp. I know, doing this sort of “stalking” and waiting for the user in question to connect can be exhausting and requires a lot of patience, but it’s the only way to know for sure if and when the user in question is connected to Whatsapp.
Note: if a contact has blocked you on WhatsApp, even using the method described above you will be able to understand when the user in question is online or not. The only way to try to remedy the situation is to get you unlocked on WhatsApp: read the guide that I just linked, so you know if you have been blocked by a user and possibly how to get yourself unlocked.
How to see the last login on WhatsApp even if hidden – Beware of scams!
How to see the last login on WhatsApp even if hidden
As you may have noticed from the discussion done so far, if a user has hidden information about the last access on WhatsApp, you can not do much to know when it was the last time you logged in to the messaging platform. For this reason I invite you to pay close attention to the scams.
On the store, in fact, many apps circulate that promise to monitor the movements of their friends and receive notifications in real time as soon as they connect to WhatsApp, even if they have hidden their status online. Needless to say, these apps not only do not work, but are filled with advertising and, as if that were not enough, they could potentially pose a serious threat to your security and your privacy. For this reason, I advise you not to download applications of this kind, especially if they come from external sources compared to the Play Store or App Store.
Another thing to which I invite you to pay the utmost attention is never to enter your personal information – name, surname, mobile number, etc. – on Web portals that promise to identify when a user is online or not: it’s your privacy. Understand?
