How to make it so that the sender of a message is not visible in WhatsApp on iPhone - briefly?

To hide the sender's name in WhatsApp messages on your iPhone, you can use the "Disappearing Messages" feature. This setting allows messages to self-destruct after a set period of time, making it impossible for the recipient to see who sent them.

How to make it so that the sender of a message is not visible in WhatsApp on iPhone - in detail?

To hide the sender's name in WhatsApp messages on an iPhone, you can use several methods. Here are detailed steps for each approach:

Using Group Privacy Settings

  1. Open WhatsApp and go to the Settings tab by tapping the gear icon at the bottom right corner of the screen.
  2. Navigate to Account, then select Privacy.
  3. Tap on Groups under the Privacy settings.
  4. Here, you will see three options: Everyone, My Contacts, and Nobody. Select Nobody. This setting prevents anyone from adding you to a group without your permission. If someone tries to add you to a group, they will need to send an invitation instead.
  5. When you receive the invite, you can choose whether to join the group or not. If you do, you'll see the group name and not the sender's name when messages are sent within the group.

Using Contact Name Display Settings

  1. Open WhatsApp and go to the Settings tab by tapping the gear icon at the bottom right corner of the screen.
  2. Navigate to Account, then select Privacy.
  3. Tap on Contacts under the Privacy settings.
  4. You will see two options: Nobody and My Contacts. Select Nobody. This setting means that only your contacts can see your profile photo, about section, and status updates.
  5. Although this doesn't directly hide the sender's name, it limits who can view your information, which indirectly affects visibility.

Using Block Feature

  1. If you want to prevent a specific contact from seeing your messages or status updates, you can block them.
  2. Open WhatsApp and go to the Settings tab by tapping the gear icon at the bottom right corner of the screen.
  3. Navigate to Account, then select Privacy.
  4. Tap on Blocked under the Privacy settings.
  5. To add a contact to your block list, tap Add New and select the contact you wish to block.
  6. Once blocked, they will not be able to see your messages or status updates, effectively hiding their name from appearing as a sender in your message feed.

Using Airplane Mode Trick

  1. Enable Airplane Mode: Swipe down from the top right corner of your screen to open Control Center and tap on the airplane icon.
  2. Open WhatsApp and send your message while offline.
  3. After sending, quickly disable Airplane Mode by tapping the airplane icon again in Control Center.
  4. This method does not hide the sender's name permanently but can be useful for specific situations where you want to delay or control when a message is sent.
