Have you ever noticed the "last seen recently" timestamp on Telegram but don't know what it means, like the above user? I reckon the above answer has solved your query. If you want to explore more details about Telegram last seen timestamps, this informative guide is good to go.
Understanding Telegram Last Seen Status
Generally, Telegram shows "last seen [a specific time]" to tell you when the user last used the platform, such as last seen yesterday at 16:20 or last seen 09/29/23.
But if you or your contact chooses to hide the last seen & online status, Telegram will use the following approximate timestamps for the last seen time instead of the detailed one:
- Last seen recently — This means the contact is online now or was online lately (covering between 1 second and 3 days).
- Last seen a long time ago — This indicates that the person was online more than a month ago or probably means you are blocked.
- Last seen within a month — This timestamp shows if the person was online between 6-7 days and 30 days.
- Last seen within a week — Telegram last seen within a week timestamp covers last seen between 2-3 days to 7 days.
📌With an important note: Telegram Premium subscribers are able to view other's specific last seen time or online status even if they disable their own.
