Erm I love facebook, i’m a little nosey haha. I have not been online though as on my iphone i can see when friends have last been logged in even though I am offline for chat. I dont like that other users can see that i was on 1m 2m 1h 2h etc.
Does anyone know how to change the privacy settings to remove this feature?
I don’t know how.. But try to click on the crank icon next to the search box and turn off Chat on your iPhone.. And check to see if your friends can still see you and the last time you were on FB?
Thanks SolSie.
I am always offline on chat anyway
The new update allows friends to see when I last accessed the iphone app regardless of your online/offline status setting.
