Preliminary information
Before showing you how to make yourself invisible on Telegram and explain to you in detail how to hide your last access to the contacts of your interest, it is necessary to make a necessary premise.
First of all, you need to know that by choosing to hide your last login on Telegram, you will in turn lose the ability to view the last login of your contacts. Furthermore, it is not possible to "hide" completely on Telegram: even if the exact day and time of your last access is not shown, words such as "Last accessed recently"If you have recently logged in,"Last access this week"If you have not logged in for a few days,"Last accessed in the current month"If several weeks have passed since your last login and"Last accessed a long time ago”If you have not logged in for over a month.
Also, you need to know that when writing a new message, if the recipient is online and on the screen Chat, the latter will realize that you are online (and therefore you will be visible) since the message "is writing”Under your name even if you don't send the message.
