Last seen recently in Telegram: Designation & Status Setting

What does the status “Last seen recently” mean?

Let’s try to figure out what “Last seen recently” means in Telegram.

A short inscription appears under the name of the interlocutor when you open a chat in the messenger (on a computer or in a mobile application). In other words, a status report/information when a user logs on to the network. How to decipher the meaning?

it is logical to assume that the status reflects the exact time when the user last opened the messenger. “It was yesterday at 21-10” or “Today at 10-00”.

We see “Last seen recently” – translated into Russian “It was recently.”

Why is the inscription in English? This is possible if the default language is English. Russify your account: you will see the word “Recently”. From a second to three days ago, it will not work more precisely. Why does Telegram show the status “recently visited?

Why hide the moment of visiting

The reasons for hiding information about your stay in the application are individual. Some users simply reserve the right to personal space and the ability to manage their time. Other people want to avoid intrusive checking of correspondence by family members. It happens that the subscriber wants to think about the answer to the question asked or comment on the information received, so he prefers to pretend that he has not yet seen the correspondence. All these people have the right to privacy, so the authors of the application respected the will of users to maintain the confidentiality of correspondence.

Attention! According to the rules of the service, subscribers registered in Telegram, but not active for six months, lose their account. The entire history of correspondence, as well as media files stored in the database, are destroyed without a trace. To resume communication through the messenger, users need to go through the process of creating a profile and authentication from the very beginning.

Types of statuses of the last online

Options for the status of the last visit to the application:

• “For all”. If you set this option, any user in the chat window will see how long ago you joined Telegram.
• “My contacts”. By selecting this item, your status will be visible only to your contacts.
• “Nobody”. In this case, instead of a timestamp, the Telegram status will display the words “recently online”, “this week”, “this month”, “long ago” – the approximate value of the last date in the line.

Why is the exact time not revealed?

The fact is that the interlocutor has changed the privacy settings – he does not want to tell other users when he last logged into the network.

And this is how much?

Recent status on Telegram: how long ago? It is difficult to get an answer to the question, there is no exact meaning. It can be assumed that this is less than a minute ago, as if more, the messenger shows a specific number of minutes.

This option is designed to determine the date and time of visiting the messenger. Interlocutors can see any information inscriptions:

• This month.
• many minutes/hours ago;
• This week;
• Recently;

How to setup?

Do you want to hide the data of all people or specific users? The setting is available to anyone – use the instructions:

• On the iPhone, the icon is at the bottom right, on Android: move the curtain to the left;
• Open messenger and go to settings;

• Look for the “Last Activity” entry.
• Find the “Privacy” section and open;

Here you can customize the display of the “Recent” option! If you do not want users to see the correct entry in the Telegram messenger, select the appropriate option. Only three:

• Only my contacts.
• Nobody sees;
• Everyone can see when I’m online;

You can set up exceptions yourself! What does it mean? Some people will never see their profile login information:

• A menu will open and check the boxes of users from the contact list in accordance with your wishes.
• Click “Always share” or “Always hide”;
• If, for example, you decide that only your contacts will be waiting for the visit, then go to the “Add exceptions” block;

Important! In online mode, the “Online” option is displayed unchanged for any user in the contact list.

To understand what “Recently Was” means in Telegram, it is important to know the following:

• If you limit visit time for everyone, you won’t even see what other online contacts look like and active time.

How will you come? It’s just that privacy rules are the same for everyone. Both parties get equal opportunities for privacy.

We told you how to hide browsing data from all or selected people – adjust the privacy settings yourself. Chat with someone you really like!

Translation into Russian last seen recently

Such information serves to characterize the user’s activity, but without specification.

The last formula encountered is widely used in English. Here are some examples of using the expression:

• “Last access during the week (month)” – the last access a week (month) ago.
• “Last seen recently” – only saw;
• “Last seen a long time ago” means “not seen for a long time”;

Designations without indication of date and time

• Was online recently. It means: last viewed / recently visited. So it’s been more than a week, but less than a month. In addition, this may mean that the user has changed their privacy settings, thus hiding information about their online activity.

By the way, in this case, he will also not be able to see other people’s states.

• Last seen a long time ago, Russian translation on Telegram – last seen over a month ago / visited a long time ago:

• Last time was online for a week. Last viewed 1 week ago / Viewed 1 week ago.
• Last time was online for a month. Last viewed a month ago / was a month ago;

How the status works when a user is blocked

This question comes up often, so we’ve covered it separately: even if you have status visibility for everyone on your Telegram, a blocked user will see “long time online” under your name.

Therefore, if you suddenly see such a state in a person with whom you recently spoke, this may mean that he blocked you for some reason.

By the way, if you first wrote to a person who is not in the contact list, there will be a “Spam” button next to his nickname.

Accounts that receive spam reports will not be able to send messages to people outside of their contact list.

Blocking can last from a week to an indefinite period, depending on how often the account received complaints.

Therefore, with all this in mind, it is worth thinking carefully before writing to a stranger.

If a user blocks you, you won’t see the exact time of their last visit

What a blocked user sees

If a user is blocked, he will not be able to see the time the person who blocked him visited the messenger. Instead, the same status will always be displayed: “It was a long time ago.”

 

But it is worth remembering that such a record can also be trivial, meaning that the interlocutor has not logged into the application for a very long time (more than a month). This is where some basic logic comes in. If yesterday the activity time was displayed in the usual format, and today the entry “It was a long time ago” appeared, there can be no doubt: the user has blocked you.

Knowing what this or that state means, it is easier to communicate with your contacts in Telegram and, if necessary, set a higher level of privacy, hiding your activity when visiting the messenger.

Causes of incorrect time display

It happens that the activity time is displayed incorrectly, despite the fact that no changes were made to the privacy settings. This can happen for one of the following reasons:

• Incorrect definition of the time zone in the operator’s network.
• Error setting the time manually.
• Failed to discover device due to:
• position lock.
• time zone change settings offline;
• geolocation is disabled;

If the time is displayed incorrectly in the PC version, the reasons may be the following:

• The IP address is incorrect. To check this data, it makes sense to use the 2ip.ru service.
• The BIOS battery in the PC system unit is low. In this case, this equipment will need to be replaced

Telegram records uptime in dialog boxes based on the data of the device on which the messenger is installed. The elimination of the error lies in the correct setting of the date and time on the smartphone or on the PC itself. For Android and iOS, it is preferable to use the time and time zone of the network, and enable geolocation. If there are no results, this data must be adjusted manually in the appropriate menu items “Settings”.
