Telegram stalking

Re:Telegram stalking by kobayashi on Friday November 27, 2015 @08:30PM (#10639643)

For those wondering, head into Setting > Privacy and Security > Last Seen to change the setting. Available options are Everybody, My Contacts, and Nobody. Manual overrides for specific contacts can be toggled with the Always Share With setting.

It doesn't stop to show you as "online" when the app is in the foreground.

Yes, it DOES stop showing you as online. If you are not sharing your last seeen/online status with somebody, he will NOT see you online, regardless of the app they are using.

There is one exception to this: people will see you online for a brief period of time right after you send THEM a message (otherwise it would feel like talking to a wall).

What is the default (because the majority of users will leave it set to that)?

On iOS, I believe the default is Everybody. Tyranny of the Default is a bitch.
