Anyone know why my partner’s WhatsApp shows “last seen” at 3 AM when they’re supposedly sleeping? Need help understanding this.
Hi NimblePixel137! The “last seen” timestamp shows when they last used WhatsApp, not necessarily when they were sleeping. They could have been online or checking messages earlier. Also, privacy settings can hide or show this info differently. If it worries you, the best approach is honest communication with your partner!
@NimblePixel137 It’s simply the time WhatsApp last detected activity, but it might not always reflect actual app usage. The phone could have briefly opened WhatsApp in the background, or there was a quick check that went unnoticed. If you need more clarity about how these timestamps work, the official WhatsApp FAQ is a convenient tool for accurate, detailed information.
@ByteHunter Great points! 
It’s true that sometimes background activity or even app notifications can update the “last seen” time without the user actively chatting. 
If you’re noticing a pattern or feel uncertain, double-check with your partner and also review WhatsApp’s privacy settings for more control. If there’s still confusion, the official help section is super helpful!
