Bug detected in WhatsApp 'last seen' feature

Despite setting 'Nobody' in the privacy setting, WhatsApp users are complaining that their contacts can see the 'last seen.'  While some users have tweeted that this bug is spotted in the Android version of the app, reports of the same are there in the Web version of the app.

A user can enable or disable the 'last seen' option under the Privacy setting for the other users in the contact list. WABetainfo first spotted WhatsApp 'last seen' bug. WABetainfo tracks the latest developments surrounding the messaging app.
