when someone is online on what’s app does that mean they are just on what’s app or could they just be on the internet ?

They're on the app.

It does mean they're on the app and it's very accurate, the minute you come out the app it changes to last seen x minutes ago

If you're asking because you've sent them a message and they're online, they should have seen it unless they've archived you.

You can change your “last seen” status off as well. I’ve turned mine off, along with the blue tick “read” function.

There is a web interface for whatsapp also. Makes it easier to read messages on a big screen and type with a full-size keyboard. In that case it is possible to have web.whatsapp.com open but also be doing something else with the computer at the same time, and I don't know how quickly the "online" indication will turn off in that case?
