Presence Updated

Triggered when a contact starts typing, recording audio, or changes their online status.

Online Privacy

Note that many users have 'Last Seen' and 'Online' status disabled in their privacy settings.

Best practices

Don't rely on this for uptime monitoring as it only shows activity for specific chats.
