How to make the number busy in WhatsApp - briefly?

To make a number appear busy on WhatsApp, you can use various third-party applications or services that allow you to simulate an active call status. These tools can help you maintain privacy and avoid unwanted messages or calls by displaying your status as "on a call" without actually being engaged in one.

How to make the number busy in WhatsApp - in detail?

To make a WhatsApp number appear as "busy" or unavailable, you have several options at your disposal. This can be useful for various reasons, such as avoiding unwanted calls or messages during specific times. Below are detailed steps to achieve this:

1. Change Your Status:

   • Open WhatsApp and go to the "Status" tab.
   • Tap on the pencil icon to create a new status update.
   • Type a message indicating that you're busy or unavailable, for example, "Busy, will respond later."
   • Choose who can see your status (e.g., My Contacts except...) if you want to be selective.
   • Tap the checkmark to save and send your status update.

2. Turn Off Read Receipts:

   • Open WhatsApp and go to "Settings."
   • Select "Account" and then tap on "Privacy."
   • Under the "Read Receipts" section, turn off the toggle switch. This will prevent others from seeing when you've read their messages.

3. Disable Notifications:

   • Go to your device's Settings app.
   • Scroll down and tap on "Apps" or "Application Manager."
   • Find WhatsApp in the list of apps and select it.
   • Tap on "Notifications" and turn off all notification types (e.g., Conversations, Group Conversations, Message Notifications).

4. Use Do Not Disturb Mode:

   • Open your device's Settings app.
   • Scroll down and tap on "Sound" or "Sounds and Vibration."
   • Turn on the toggle switch for "Do Not Disturb." This will silence notifications from all apps, including WhatsApp.

5. Block Specific Contacts:

   • Open WhatsApp and go to the chat with the contact you want to block.
   • Tap on the three dots (menu) in the top right corner.
   • Select "More" and then tap on "Block." This will prevent that contact from seeing your last seen status, profile picture, or any changes made to them.

6. Use a Different Device:

   • If you have WhatsApp installed on multiple devices (e.g., smartphone and tablet), you can simply use the device where you want to appear busy.
   • For example, if you're using your tablet, others will see that you're online but may not expect an immediate response compared to when you're using your smartphone.

By implementing these steps, you can effectively make your WhatsApp number appear as "busy" or unavailable, allowing you to manage your communication more efficiently.
