I recently purchased Telegram Premium and expected to see the exact last seen status of users. However, some accounts still show as 'last seen recently'. I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I’ve changed a setting by mistake. I’d like to know what the issue is
Steps to reproduce
Open Telegram on a device with a newly purchased Premium subscription.
Go to the chat list and open a conversation with a user whose last seen is hidden.
Check their "last seen" status — it still shows as "last seen recently", even though I'm using Premium.
This happens with multiple users, including some who are not contacts.
It works as it’s explained in Last Seen & Online privacy settings:
You stop seeing other user’s last seen and read time (that they are sharing with you) when you choose to hide yours with them, unless you have a Telegram Premium subscription.
If a user chose to hide it with you (or with anyone), it will remain hidden no matter you’re a Premium user or not.
