You can add a boolean column (PFUser Class) where it changes to TRUE when the user opens the app, and changes to FALSE when the app is closed (or in background)

  • Is it there any other option like in-built methods or something else? – Harry Feb 23 '15 at 09:33
  • Not that I know of. :) – RJiryes Feb 23 '15 at 09:41
  • Ok means when user will login he the boolean field will be "true" and on logout "false". But in case if internet is not available after login, than also user will display "Online" which is incorrect. So how will manage this thing.? – Harry Feb 23 '15 at 10:51
  • Thats why implementing a chat application on Parse is not the best solution. Try looking into node.js and use parse as your database (using REST API). Sorry. :) – RJiryes Feb 23 '15 at 11:04
