WhatsApp will hide last seen, but will still show you if a user is online instantaneously - you'd have to have their conversation open.
Facebook too, will show a user as instantaneously online even if they have chat turned off for you (I think). On the plus side, Facebook recently disabled API access for online/offline status of your friends unless they've consented.

- joshvm 11y agoIt's for the graph API, which I have no experience with, but I guess it covers both? The limitation is in the API only, you can still see the statuses in-app and online, but you would have to resort to a webscraper to get them.
