Does Signal have the Last Seen ON feature?
Signal Private Messenger is known for its privacy and offers a secure platform to its users. With password protection, screen lock, screen saver (blocks screenshots of chats) and incognito keyboard on your Signal account, you can be sure that no one can see into your chats. But since we all know how the organization considers privacy and security as its main USP, there is no feature that allows you to use Last Seen ON features like WhatsApp and other messenger apps. However, you only get to know whether the message was delivered or not, but no information about the last viewed message and whether the other person has seen your messages or not.

Can you upload the online status feature on Signal?
Currently, there is no such feature that allows users to upload online statuses or send disappearing selfies like Snapchat and Instagram. However, you can share multimedia files such as images, videos, PDFs and more. They also have a Windows app that you can link to your phone via the 'Link Another Device' feature. You can also use the Signal Windows app to make video calls, a feature not currently offered by WhatsApp, Instagram, Snapchat and several social applications.
