When is "Last Seen" Updated on Telegram?
How Does the "Online" Status Works: Finalmente Ped on Telegram
One of the features of Telegram, which pays full attention to the privacy and security of users, is the "Last Seen," which is a time stamp of the user last powered the app. This feature provides an overview of the availability of contacts for the users. In this article I will give a more detailed look at how this works, how often it updates, and how a user can make choices around what their online visibility.
The frequency of the updates of "Last Seen"
Telegram shows the "Last Seen" status Automatically UPDATE(*): based on the USER activity -> Update FREQUENCY Users will see their status update nearly instantaneously when they open and use the app. In case the app is in the background and is not being used, then might take few seconds for the status to be updated as refreshed or actionable!
User Settings Impact
Lots of contraol on how "Last Seen" status should be displayed to users
Online Status: As long as the application is open and active, the status of the user definable as the user is active on Telegram
If a user has been inactive but not away for more than a few days, their status will appear as "last seen recently;" this will usually last for about 24 hours or until the user takes an action.
Last Seen Within Week/Month: If someone is inactive for a week or more, then Telegram shows "last seen within week" or "last seen within month."
Privacy Options
One of the most requested features when it comes to messaging apps is the ability to control who can see your "Last Seen" status, and I've been waiting for ages for WhatsApp to offer this level of customization, especially since Telegram provided it. Adjust privacy settings to whom it shows.
Everyone
Their contacts only
Nobody
Users can also select specific exceptions, giving particular users access to seeing or not seeing their status, regardless of the general setting.
Accuracy and Reliability
Usually the "Last Seen" status is mostly accurate but could be influenced by privacy settings or network issues. For example, a user experiencing a slow internet connection, they will experience a delay of the status updates.

Navigating Online Presence
Knowledge of how the "Last Seen" on Telegram is set forth, can guide users through their presence, over the internet. Users have the ability to manage their presence by adjusting their settings to a level of privacy that makes them comfortable, ensuring a dynamic that balances connectedness with intrusion. This is simply one more example of the efforts Telegram has been making to offer privacy features of its own rather that being seized by default for the users.
