Why Can’t I See “Last Active” on Facebook Messenger?

Last Updated on August 31, 2023 By Arsalan Rauf

The “Last Active” status helps you to find out when someone was last online on Facebook Messenger.

For instance, if someone was last online 33 minutes ago, you’ll see a status that displays “Active 33 m ago”.

The status is available under the name of the person when you open the chat with them.

Alternatively, if the person is currently active, it will show you a green dot on their profile picture.

However, the “Last Active” status is not visible to everyone.

In this guide, I will tell you why you can’t see the “Last Active” status on Facebook Messenger.

I will also tell you that how to tell if someone has turned off their status, and how you can see it.

Why can’t I see “Last Active” on Facebook Messenger?

You can’t see the “Last Active” status on Facebook Messenger because the person has blocked you or it is turned off.

It can also indicate that the user has not been on Facebook for a long time (over 24 hours).

You will not be able to see it if the person has turned off their “Last Active” status.

In addition, the user will not be able to see your status too.

Furthermore, if the person blocked you on Messenger, you will be restricted from viewing their “Last Active” status.

You will see the status if they unblock you.

Other than that, if the user has not been using FB for a long time (over 24 hours, 3 days, 1 week), their “Last Active” status will be hidden.

In this guide, you will see the reasons in detail why you can’t see when someone was last active on Facebook Messenger.

Reason 1. The person turned off their “Active Status”

You have disabled “Shown when you’re active” setting.

It can be the first cause that the person turned off their “Active Status”.

It is the most common cause why you can’t see when someone was last active on FB Messenger.

You can hide your active status due to the privacy feature of Facebook.

You can find the setting on the Messenger app after tapping on your profile picture.

After tapping on your profile picture, it will show you an option known as “Active Status”.

If the status remains turn on, your contacts and friends will know that when were you last active on the messenger.

If it is turned off, the last active will not be available to your friends and contacts.

The only downside of turning it off is that it will also prevent you from seeing when your friends and contacts were last active too.

Reason 2. You’re blocked

The person has blocked you.

If the person has blocked you on FB messenger, you won’t be able to view the person’s “Last Active” status.

Additionally, the user won’t get any messages or calls from you.

I did a test on two Facebook accounts to prove it:

  1. First of all, I logged into two different Facebook accounts to make sure that they were both active.
  2. On the first account, I checked the active status of the second account.
  3. The second account had a green dot on the profile picture.
  4. After that, I went to the 2nd account and blocked the first one.
  5. In the end, I went back to the 1st account to check the status of the second account.
  6. The status of the second account was no longer shown.

By performing this test, I was able to know that the “Active Status” will not be shown if the user blocked you on Facebook Messenger.

However, you will be able to see it again if the person unblocked you.

How can you tell if someone has turned off their status on Messenger?

You can check the activity of the person such as posts comments on Facebook.

You can tell if someone has turned off their status on Messenger by checking out their activity on Facebook.

If the user recently posted something on Facebook but it does not show their activity status, then there is a great chance that they have turned off their active status.

However, if the person was not available on Facebook for a long time, they might not have deactivated their active status.

In this case, their active status is not showing because of their inactivity (offline for over a week) on Facebook.

How can I see the hidden last seen on Messenger?

The first step is to turn on your “Active Status”.

To see hidden last seen on Messenger, the first thing you need to do is to turn on your “Active Status”.

After turning on your “Active Status”, it will show you the last seen of your friends and contacts on Messenger.

However, if the user has turned it off then you won’t be able to see the last seen of them.

Additionally, if the user has blocked you then you won’t be able to see the last seen of them too.

Unfortunately, if someone has blocked you on FB or turned off their “Last Active” status, there is no way that can help you see their last seen.

Final Words

If you’re not able to view the “Last Active” status on someone’s profile, it might not always mean that they have deactivated it.

It can happen because of their prolonged inactivity on Facebook.

Usually, when a user is not logged into Facebook for more than 24 hours, the “Last Active” status will not available.

Even if the person has enabled the “Last Active” status, Messenger will no longer show when the person was last online after 24 hours.

However, if the person posts on Facebook on a regular basis and their status is hidden on Messenger, it means that they’ve disabled it.
