We want our close ones last active time to chat with them. Whenever you miss your close friend or beloved, you used to keep track of their last seen. This "last seen" may also create problems in relationships. Hence, few people want to disable it entirely so that others will not be able to see your last seen. The best past on Facebook is, unlike WhatsApp, you can see others' last seen whereas your friends cannot see your "last seen". Facebook will show you "Active now" when you are online, but hey, this feature actually removes any of your "Active <>h ago" or "Active Now" timestamp from your name. While browsing news feed, your friends may not know that you are online. You can also chat with people and still they do not get to know about the last seen. Learn how to appear offline on Facebook. To appear offline on Facebook, you may need to disable "Active Status" on both Messenger and Desktop.
