How to hide your view in WhatsApp - briefly?

To hide your online status on WhatsApp, you can either set your profile to "Last Seen" as "Nobody," which will make it appear that you are offline to everyone, or use the "Read Receipts" feature and turn it off to prevent others from seeing when you've read their messages.

How to hide your view in WhatsApp - in detail?

To hide your view in WhatsApp, you can take several steps depending on the specific feature or action you want to keep private. Here are some detailed methods:

1. Hide "Last Seen" Status:

   • Open WhatsApp and go to 'Settings' (represented by three dots in the upper right corner).
   • Select 'Account'.
   • Tap on 'Privacy'.
   • Choose 'Last Seen & Online'.
   • Set it to 'Nobody' if you want no one to see your last seen status, or select 'My Contacts' to allow only your contacts to view it.

2. Hide "Read Receipts":

   • In the 'Privacy' settings, select 'Read Receipts'.
   • Turn off this option to prevent others from knowing when you have read their messages. Note that if you turn off read receipts, you also won’t be able to see read receipts from your contacts.

3. Hide Profile Picture, Status, and About:

   • In the 'Privacy' settings, tap on each of these options (Profile Photo, Status, About).
   • Choose who can view them: 'Nobody', 'My Contacts', or 'Everyone'.

4. Use "Disappearing Messages":

   • Open a chat with the person you want to send a disappearing message to.
   • Tap on the contact’s name at the top of the chat.
   • Select 'Disappearing Messages' and turn it on.
   • Once enabled, any message sent in this chat will disappear after seven days. Note that this setting can be turned off by either participant.

5. Block a Contact:

   • If you want to prevent someone from seeing your status updates or contacting you altogether, you can block them.
   • Go to the chat with the person you want to block.
   • Tap on the three dots in the upper right corner and select 'More' > 'Block'.
   • Confirm by tapping 'Block'.

By adjusting these settings, you can significantly enhance your privacy on WhatsApp, ensuring that your view remains hidden from unwanted eyes.
