How to become invisible in WhatsApp on an iPhone - briefly?

To achieve invisibility on WhatsApp using an iPhone, you can turn off the "Last Seen" and "Read Receipts" features in your privacy settings. This will prevent others from seeing when you were last online or if you have read their messages.

How to become invisible in WhatsApp on an iPhone - in detail?

To become invisible in WhatsApp on an iPhone, you can follow these detailed steps:

1. Last Seen: By default, your contacts can see when you were last active on WhatsApp. To change this, go to Settings > Account > Privacy > Last Seen. Here, you have three options:

   • Everyone: Anyone can see your last seen status and online status.
   • My Contacts: Only people you have in your address book can see your last seen status and online status.
   • Nobody: No one can see your last seen status and online status.
2. Read Receipts: WhatsApp also shows when you've read a message. To disable this, go to Settings > Account > Privacy > Read Receipts. Toggle this off if you don't want others to know when you've read their messages.
3. Status: If you share your status updates on WhatsApp, others can see who has viewed them. To change the visibility of your status, go to Settings > Account > Privacy > Status. Here, you have the same three options as with Last Seen: Everyone, My Contacts, and Nobody.
4. Profile Photo: Your profile photo is visible to everyone by default. If you want to make it private, go to Settings > Profile > Privacy. Here, you can choose who can see your profile photo: Everyone, My Contacts, or Nobody.
5. About: The information in your "About" section is also public by default. To change this, go to Settings > Profile > About. You'll see the same privacy options as with your profile photo and status.
6. Live Location: When you share your live location with someone, they can see where you are for a certain period of time. To stop sharing, tap Stop Sharing in the chat.

By adjusting these settings, you can significantly reduce your visibility on WhatsApp, making it seem like you're "invisible" to others. However, please note that some functionality may be limited when you choose to hide certain information.

Additionally, remember that while these steps make it harder for others to see your activity, they don't completely hide it from WhatsApp itself. The app still collects and uses data according to its privacy policy.
