How to become invisible in WhatsApp on Samsung - briefly?

To become invisible in WhatsApp on a Samsung device, you can use the app's built-in features such as "Last Seen" and "Read Receipts." By turning off these settings, your online status and read receipts will not be visible to others.

How to become invisible in WhatsApp on Samsung - in detail?

To become invisible in WhatsApp on a Samsung device, you can use several methods to hide your online status, last seen, and other personal information. Here is a detailed guide on how to achieve this:

Last Seen and Online Status

WhatsApp allows users to control who sees their last seen and online status. By default, everyone can see these details, but you can change the settings to limit visibility or make them private.

  1. Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your Samsung device.
  2. Go to Settings: Tap on the three dots (⋮) in the upper right corner of the screen to access the menu, and then select "Settings".
  3. Account: In the settings menu, tap on "Account".
  4. Privacy: Under the account settings, select "Privacy".
  5. Last Seen & Online: You will see options for "Last Seen" and "Online". Tap on each to change their visibility:
    • Everyone: Your last seen and online status will be visible to everyone.
    • My Contacts: Only your contacts can see your last seen and online status.
    • Nobody: No one can see your last seen and online status.

For maximum invisibility, select "Nobody".

Profile Photo, About, and Status

To further enhance your privacy, you can also limit who sees your profile photo, about information, and status updates.

  1. Profile Photo: Go to the "Privacy" settings as described above. Tap on "Profile Photo" and select "Nobody" to hide your profile picture from everyone.
  2. About: Similarly, tap on "About" in the privacy settings and choose "Nobody" to keep your personal information private.
  3. Status: To control who can see your status updates, go back to the main WhatsApp screen and tap on the "Status" tab at the bottom of the screen. Tap on the three dots (⋮) in the upper right corner and select "Status Privacy". Choose "Nobody" if you want to keep your status private from everyone.

Read Receipts

Disabling read receipts can also add a layer of invisibility, as others will not know when you have read their messages. However, this setting is reciprocal; if you turn off read receipts for them, they won't be able to see your read receipts either.

  1. Go to Settings: As before, tap on the three dots (⋮) in the upper right corner and select "Settings".
  2. Account: Tap on "Account".
  3. Privacy: Select "Privacy".
  4. Read Receipts: Turn off the toggle for "Read Receipts".

Additional Tips

  • Blue Ticks: Even if you disable read receipts, blue ticks (indicating a message has been delivered) will still appear. To avoid this, you can use apps like "WhatsApp Mod" or "GB WhatsApp", which offer additional privacy features not available in the official app.
  • Screen Lock: Use your Samsung device's built-in screen lock to ensure that no one else can access your WhatsApp messages.

By following these steps, you can significantly reduce your visibility on WhatsApp, making it appear as if you are invisible to others.
