And do you have the same on/off setting for everyone or is it different for different people ?

Mine is on .. at the moment ...

Mine is on for everyone apart from the 🕵️‍♀️ next door neighbour.

Love it when I text or get a text of my best friends saying...and why were you awake at 3am on a Tuesday morning 🤭 menopause hen..I wake up at random times! 😆 🤣 😂

Filtered depending on who.

Starseeking · 04/04/2026 22:18

Mine is on for everyone, until this thread I didn’t know you could have it set specifically to different people! 👀

hypnovic · 04/04/2026 22:20

Off

juicelooseabootthishoose · 04/04/2026 22:22

Off! Its not information i wish to share or think anyone needs to know. I would never share my location either. But appreciate that increasingly that makes me in the minority.

OriginalSkang · 04/04/2026 22:23

Off for everyone. I hate being on show and people knowing what I'm doing. I also hate seeing that other people have been online but not read my message! So best to just leave it off

GarlicFind · 04/04/2026 22:23

On for my contacts. It's meaningless in my case, I often leave it open for days at a time in the background.

If you put it off then you can't see when the person you switched off was last online.

sanityisamyth · 04/04/2026 22:30

On as I often have a lot of people needing to get hold of me.

GlovedhandsCecilia · 04/04/2026 22:32

Off. It caused too many problems with people who feel entitled to a prompt response

Nosejobnelly · 04/04/2026 22:39

On!

DinoLil · 04/04/2026 22:40

Off for everyone

DramaAlpaca · 04/04/2026 22:43

You leave your phone ‘awake’, untouched, with the app open for days at a time? In the background of what?

CallingOnTheMegaphone · 04/04/2026 22:46

It's off, hopefully for everyone, I'm just going to double check...

AnOldCynic · 04/04/2026 22:47

Off. Whether I’m on Whatapp or not has got fuck all to do with anyone else…

OtherS · 04/04/2026 22:50

On. Also didn't know you could have it set differently for different people... But for some reason I do get a bit eye-rolly at people who have it turned off - like they think they're sooo important everyone cares when they're on WhatsApp 🙄

I don't know why I'm like I am...

stickydough · 04/04/2026 22:50

On. Each to their own but I find it annoying when people turn it off and feel by leaving it on, im
doing people the courtesy of knowing if I’ve seen their message. Various situations it’s useful to know if it’s been seen or not.

ReignOfError · 04/04/2026 22:55

Off for everyone except immediate family and two close friends.

Hohumitsreallyallthereis · 04/04/2026 23:04

Off for everyone with notifications muted. I’ve got two class parent chats, four sport team chats, various friend chats. It’s too much.

I check a couple of times a day. If you really need me, call me.

WhosMadeline · 04/04/2026 23:06

There was a thread about exactly this a few days ago.
