Meaning, users that cannot see *our* exact last online date due to the current value of the [inputPrivacyKeyStatusTimestamp](/constructor/inputPrivacyKeyStatusTimestamp.md) key will receive a `403 USER_PRIVACY_RESTRICTED` error when invoking [messages.getOutboxReadDate](/method/messages.getOutboxReadDate.md) to fetch the exact read date of a message they sent to us. \

#### [Dialog folders](/api/folders.md)
Telegram allows placing chats into folders, based on their type, mute status, or other custom criteria, thanks to folder blacklists and whitelists.

#### [inputPrivacyKeyStatusTimestamp](/constructor/inputPrivacyKeyStatusTimestamp.md)
Whether people will be able to see our exact last online timestamp.

Note that if *we* decide to hide our exact last online timestamp to someone (i.e., users A, B, C, or all users) **and** we do not have a [Premium](/api/premium.md) subscription, we won't be able to see the exact last online timestamp of those users (A, B, C, or all users), even if those users *do* share it with us.

If those users *do* share their exact online status with us, but we can't see it due to the reason mentioned above, the `by_me` flag of [userStatusRecently](/constructor/userStatusRecently.md), [userStatusLastWeek](/constructor/userStatusLastWeek.md), [userStatusLastMonth](/constructor/userStatusLastMonth.md) will be set.

#### [messages.getOutboxReadDate](/method/messages.getOutboxReadDate.md)
Get the exact read date of one of our messages, sent to a private chat with another user.

Can be only done for private outgoing messages not older than [appConfig.pm\_read\_date\_expire\_period »](/api/config.md#pm-read-date-expire-period).

If the `peer`'s [userFull](/constructor/userFull.md).`read_dates_private` flag is set, we will not be able to fetch the exact read date of messages we send to them, and a `USER_PRIVACY_RESTRICTED` RPC error will be emitted.  
The exact read date of messages might still be unavailable for other reasons, see [here »](/constructor/globalPrivacySettings.md) for more info.  
To set [userFull](/constructor/userFull.md).`read_dates_private` for ourselves invoke [account.setGlobalPrivacySettings](/method/account.setGlobalPrivacySettings.md), setting the `settings.hide_read_marks` flag.

#### [userFull](/constructor/userFull.md)
