Hidden tricks
We often want to take a break from WhatsApp messaging without having to resort to deleting the app. Surprisingly, there is a simple solution for this, and you can easily perform the trick in just a few steps. Let’s look at how to disappear from WhatsApp temporarily while keeping the app intact.
Step 1: Access WhatsApp
Open the WhatsApp app on your mobile device to begin the temporary disappearing process.
Step 2: Tap the Messenger Icon and Select “Force Stop”
On WhatsApp, tap the messenger icon and then choose the “Force Stop” option. This step is crucial to temporarily stop receiving messages.
Step 3: Disable “Background Data” in the Mobile Data Area
On the same screen, tap the mobile data area and disable the “Background Data” option. This is an important step to ensure the trick works correctly.
Step 4: Connected Mobile Data
It is essential to note that this particular trick only operates when you are connected to mobile data. So, make sure you are using a mobile data connection for the method to work properly.
Enjoy some peace
Once these steps are completed, you will be temporarily free from WhatsApp messages even when connected to 4G/5G. This gives you a break without needing to delete the app.
Other Strategies
In addition to the method mentioned above, there are other strategies you can employ to take a break from WhatsApp without having to resort to deleting the app completely.
Temporarily disable in the “Help” Tab
You can also temporarily disable the app in the “Help” section. However, this method involves telling the app that your device is lost, allowing the company to temporarily unlink the account. Remember, you can reactivate your account within 30 days of deactivation.
Turn Off Pop-Up Notifications
Another effective way is to turn off message notifications to avoid interruptions. Access your phone’s settings or the app itself to customize sound, vibration, pop-up, light and notification style. Turning off read receipts can also help reduce the pressure to respond immediately.
Limit Usage Time
If you want tighter control over the time you spend on WhatsApp, consider using a timer. Setting time limits on app usage can be an effective way to ensure you don’t become overly involved in messaging.
