How to go invisible on WhatsApp from your phone - in detail?
To become invisible on WhatsApp from your phone, you need to configure certain settings that will hide your online status and prevent others from knowing when you were last active. Here’s a detailed guide:
- Privacy Settings: Open the WhatsApp application on your phone. Tap on the three dots (or more) in the top right corner of the screen to access the menu. Select "Settings" from the dropdown list.
- Account Settings: In the Settings menu, tap on "Account." This section contains various account-related settings including privacy options.
- Privacy: Tap on "Privacy." Here you will find several options that control who can see your personal information and status.
-
Last Seen: Under the Privacy settings, tap on "Last Seen." This option determines whether others can see when you were last active on WhatsApp. You have three choices:
- Everyone: Anyone who has your phone number can see your last seen status and online status.
- My Contacts: Only those in your contacts list can see your last seen status and online status.
- Nobody: No one, including your contacts, will be able to see when you were last active or whether you are currently online.
- Read Receipts: Below the Last Seen option, there is a toggle for "Read Receipts." When this feature is enabled, others can see when you have read their messages. Disabling it will prevent them from knowing if you've seen their message.
- Profile Photo: You can also control who sees your profile photo by tapping on "Profile Photo" under the Privacy settings and selecting "Nobody."
- Status: If you share status updates, you can limit who sees them by tapping on "Status" in the Privacy settings. Choose "My Contacts" or "Only Share With..." to restrict visibility.
- Live Location: For those who use Live Location sharing, tap on "Live Location" and select "Nobody." This ensures that your real-time location is not shared with anyone.
By adjusting these settings, you can significantly reduce your visibility on WhatsApp, making it appear as if you are invisible to others while still being able to use the app freely.
