To make someone invisible on WhatsApp, you can employ several strategies depending on your goals and the level of privacy you wish to achieve. Here are some detailed methods:

  1. Muting Notifications:

    • Open WhatsApp and go to the chat with the person you want to make invisible.
    • Tap on their name at the top of the screen to open their contact info.
    • Select "Mute notifications." You can choose from options like 8 hours, 1 week, or 1 year. This won't delete their messages but will prevent you from seeing their notifications.
  2. Archiving Chats:

    • Open WhatsApp and go to the chat with the person you want to make invisible.
    • Swipe left on the chat to reveal options like "Delete" and "Archive."
    • Select "Archive." This will remove the chat from your main screen, making it less visible. To access archived chats, scroll down to the bottom of your chat list and tap "Archived Chats."
  3. Deleting Messages:

    • Open WhatsApp and go to the chat with the person you want to make invisible.
    • Select the message or messages you wish to delete.
    • Tap on the trash can icon at the top of the screen. This will remove the selected messages from your chat history, making it appear as if they never existed.
  4. Blocking the Contact:

    • Open WhatsApp and go to the chat with the person you want to make invisible.
    • Tap on their name at the top of the screen to open their contact info.
    • Select "Block." This will prevent the person from seeing your online status, profile picture, and any updates to your status. They won't be able to call or message you either.
  5. Using Privacy Settings:

    • Open WhatsApp and go to "Settings."
    • Tap on "Account," then "Privacy." Here you can adjust settings for your profile picture, status, and last seen timestamp. For example:
      • To hide your profile picture from everyone except your contacts, select "My Contacts" under Profile Photo.
      • To hide your status from everyone except selected contacts, select "Only share with..." under Status.
      • To hide your last seen timestamp from everyone, select "Nobody" under Last Seen.

By using these methods, you can effectively make someone invisible on WhatsApp, tailoring the level of privacy to suit your needs.
