Get the date of the latest updated

I have Category with timestamps, I want to know how to get the date for the latest updated category, the same if it's a new created category.

(I want to display when the site was last updated based on the categories).

The latest() query builder method accept the name of the column as an optional parameter (by default it uses created_at ), is this what you want?

$categories = Category::latest('updated_at')->get();

This will return all the categories, from the most recently updated to the least.
