How to make a WhatsApp contact invisible - in detail?
To make a WhatsApp contact invisible, you need to adjust your privacy settings and manage the visibility of your profile information. Here is a detailed guide on how to achieve this:
-
Open WhatsApp: Start by launching the WhatsApp application on your mobile device.
-
Access Settings: Tap on the three dots (⋮) in the top-right corner of the screen to open the menu, and then select "Settings."
-
Navigate to Account: In the Settings menu, find and tap on "Account" to manage your account preferences.
-
Privacy: Under the "Account" section, look for and tap on "Privacy." This is where you can control who can see your profile picture, about information, status, and read receipts.
-
Profile Photo: To make your profile photo invisible to a specific contact, select "Profile Photo" under the Privacy settings. Choose "Nobody" from the list of options. This will hide your profile photo from everyone. If you want to show it to some contacts but not others, you can select "My Contacts" and then manually block the visibility for specific contacts by going to their contact details and toggling off the option to see your profile picture.
-
About: Similarly, to make your "About" information invisible, select "About" under Privacy settings. Choose "Nobody" to hide this information from everyone. For selective visibility, choose "My Contacts" and then block specific contacts as needed.
-
Status: To control who can see your status updates, select "Status" in the Privacy settings. You can choose "My Contacts" to share your status with all your contacts or select specific contacts by tapping on "Only Share With..." and manually adding the contacts you want to include.
-
Read Receipts: If you want to make read receipts invisible, select "Read Receipts" in the Privacy settings. Choose "Nobody" to disable read receipts for all contacts. This will prevent them from knowing when you have read their messages.
-
Last Seen: To hide your last seen status, go back to the main Privacy settings and select "Last Seen." Choose "Nobody" to make this information invisible to everyone. If you prefer selective visibility, choose "My Contacts," and then block specific contacts from seeing your last seen status by going to their contact details and toggling off the option.
-
Blocking a Contact: If you want to completely hide all your information from a specific contact, consider blocking them. Go to the contact's profile, tap on the three dots (⋮) in the top-right corner, and select "Block." This will make the contact invisible to you and vice versa.
By following these steps, you can effectively manage the visibility of your WhatsApp information and make specific contacts invisible as needed.
