3.) Advantages and disadvantages of deactivating last online in WhatsApp!

There are both advantages and disadvantages to disabling the “Last Seen” status in WhatsApp. Here is an overview:

Advantages:



1.  More privacy:

- You can prevent others from seeing when you were last online, giving you more control over your privacy.

2. Less pressure:

- You don't have to worry about others expecting you to respond immediately when they see you were recently online.

3. Protection from harassment:

- If someone is monitoring your online behavior or harassing you, turning off your status can help you avoid awkward situations.

4. Less stress:

- You may feel less stressed because you don't feel like your online times are constantly being monitored.

Disadvantages:



1. Limited visibility:

- If you turn off last seen, you will no longer be able to see when others were last online. This could make it harder to gauge others' behavior or availability.

2. Misunderstandings:

- Friends or colleagues may be confused or worried if they don't know when you were last online. This could lead to misunderstandings.

3. No confirmation:

- You will no longer be able to quickly check if someone has been online to make sure a message has been received or read (although read receipts are a separate feature).

4. Social expectations:

- In some social circles, you are expected to respond immediately. Turning off last seen could provoke negative reactions from some people as they may perceive it as rude or secretive.

Conclusion:



Disabling last seen status provides more privacy and protection from unwanted attention, but it can also affect communication and social dynamics. It's a personal decision that depends on your individual needs and situation.
