CodePudding user response：

you can use the difference method on date and time which give you the difference

final date2 = DateTime.now();
final difference = date2.difference(date);
print(difference.inHours);

from that you can get the difference in hours difference in minutes etc

CodePudding user response：

check the timeago package, it helps implementing what you need

import 'package:timeago/timeago.dart' as timeago;

main() {
    final date = DateTime.now().subtract(Duration(minutes: 50));
    print(timeago.format(date)); // 50 minutes ago
}
