Last Seen in SMS - iOS

Why did I redesign?

Increase Available Information

Last seen information gives users additional context without having to open the conversation, making the experience more efficient.

Familiar Experience

Users who are used to using social media, especially Instagram, will be familiar with this feature, making the user transition smoother.

Efficiency in Interaction

Users can decide whether to send a message or wait based on the contact's last activity.

Increase Engagement

By knowing the contact's activity, users may initiate communication more often.

Monetisation Opportunities

This feature could be a plus if the SMS app is to be integrated with premium services.

Privacy Customisation

Giving users the option to customise last seen visibility settings can increase user satisfaction and trust.
