Honest question: Can I use the "last seen" time as a rough proxy for "they have read your message"? I've been wondering this for a while.
At least on Android, my 'last seen' counter doesn't update until WhatApp is brought to the foreground on my chat partner's phone, which is normally a good sign that they have read my message. If they just see the notification but don't open the app my 'last seen' counter does not update
- maxkiener 12y agothe current implementation leaves room for speculation. especially, since others have pointed out, two checkmarks only show that it has been delivered. the "last online" time means (AFAIK) the last time the user was using the app (could also be in a different chat).
