Telegram gives you an option where you can select who can see your last seen time. To configure this, go to “Settings”, “Privacy and Security” and then tap on “Last Seen & Online”.

Tap and hold on a message to select it first and then again tap and hold to select your part of the message. That’s ingenious, right?
