How to make it so that you don't see someone's stories in WhatsApp - briefly?

To prevent seeing someone's stories on WhatsApp, you can either mute the contact or use the Archived Chats feature. Muting a contact will hide their stories from your main feed, while archiving the chat will remove it entirely from view.

How to make it so that you don't see someone's stories in WhatsApp - in detail?

To ensure you do not see someone's stories on WhatsApp, follow these detailed steps:

1. Muting the Contact: Muting a contact is the simplest way to avoid seeing their stories in your WhatsApp feed. Here’s how you can do it:

   • Open WhatsApp and go to the chat with the person whose stories you want to hide.
   • Tap on the name of the contact at the top of the screen.
   • Scroll down and tap on "Mute."
   • Choose the duration for which you want to mute the contact (8 hours, 1 week, or 1 year).

2. Blocking the Contact: If muting is not sufficient, you can block the contact. Blocked contacts will not be able to see your status updates, and their stories will not appear in your feed.

   • Open WhatsApp and go to the chat with the person you want to block.
   • Tap on the name of the contact at the top of the screen.
   • Scroll down and tap on "Block."
   • Confirm by tapping "Block" again.

3. Deleting or Archiving the Chat: Another method is to delete or archive the chat with the person whose stories you want to hide. This will remove their stories from your feed.

   • Open WhatsApp and go to the chat with the person you want to hide.
   • Tap on the name of the contact at the top of the screen.
   • Select "Delete Chat" or "Archive." Note that archiving hides the chat but keeps it accessible, while deleting removes all messages and media from your device.

4. Using WhatsApp Business App: If you are using WhatsApp Business, you have additional options to manage contacts and their visibility:

   • Open WhatsApp Business.
   • Go to the contact whose stories you want to hide.
   • Tap on the name of the contact at the top of the screen.
   • Scroll down and tap on "Hide Chat" or "Block."

5. Adjusting Privacy Settings: You can also adjust your privacy settings to control who sees your status updates and stories. However, this does not directly prevent you from seeing other people's stories.

   • Open WhatsApp and go to "Settings."
   • Tap on "Account" and then "Privacy."
   • Select "Status" and choose who can see your status updates (My Contacts, My Contacts Except, or Only Share With).

By following these steps, you can effectively manage the visibility of other people's stories in WhatsApp. Choose the method that best fits your needs and preferences.
