Being invisible on WhatsApp is a common desire among users, whether to escape unwanted conversations or to keep their privacy intact.
The good news is that this feature is possible and can be used on both Android devices and iPhones (iOS), as well as the Web version of the application.
Information such as online status, “Last seen” and reading confirmation (the famous blue check) can be deactivated through the application settings. Below, follow the step-by-step guide to avoid being seen online and postponing responses to messages received.
Learning how to remove online status from WhatsApp
The first step to using WhatsApp discreetly is to disable the “Online” status. This feature, available to all users since August 2022, allows you to hide the availability information that normally appears below the user’s name. Follow these instructions:
Open the WhatsApp application. Click on the menu (the three dots) in the upper right corner. Then go to “Settings”. On the next screen, select “Privacy“. The first option to appear is “Last seen and online”. Click on it. Now, you will be able to choose who can see the last time you logged in and when you are online. In the online section, choose the “Nobody” option. This will make it look like you are not using the app.
It is worth remembering that, when you choose to hide the “Online” status, you will also no longer see the online status of other contacts.
What if I want to disable read receipt?
Removing the famous “blue check” that confirms a message has been read is another important trick to preserve your privacy on the app. Follow these steps:
Open the WhatsApp application. Tap the settings icon, located in the top right (for Android) or bottom right (for iOS). In “Settings”, click on the “Privacy” option. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and disable the “Read receipts” option. Now, you will be able to read messages and view the Status of any contact without them knowing.
These are just some of the tricks available for those who want to use WhatsApp more discreetly and protect their privacy.
However, it is important to remember that, when opting for these settings, you will also no longer see some information about your contacts, such as “last seen” and “online” status. Therefore, choose the settings that suit your personal needs and preferences.
