How to make WhatsApp invisible online to other users on your phone - briefly?

How to make WhatsApp invisible online to other users on your phone - in detail?

To make WhatsApp invisible online to other users on your phone, you need to adjust several settings and utilize certain features. Here’s a detailed guide:

  1. Disable Read Receipts:

    • Open WhatsApp and go to "Settings."
    • Navigate to "Account" > "Privacy."
    • Turn off "Read Receipts." This setting prevents others from seeing when you've read their messages, but it doesn’t make your online status invisible.
  2. Turn Off Last Seen:

    • In the same "Privacy" settings, select "Last Seen & Online."
    • Choose "Nobody" to hide your last seen status and online presence from everyone. This ensures that others won’t know when you were last active or if you are currently online.
  3. Disable Profile Photo:

    • In the "Privacy" settings, select "Profile Photo."
    • Choose "Nobody" to hide your profile picture from all users. This reduces visibility and can help maintain a low-key presence.
  4. Use Airplane Mode:

    • For temporary invisibility, you can use Airplane Mode. Simply turn on Airplane Mode to disconnect from the internet, then open WhatsApp without reconnecting to the network. This way, your online status won’t be shown to others.
    • Keep in mind that you won't receive any messages or notifications until you reconnect to the internet.
  5. Restrict Status Updates:

    • Go to "Settings" > "Account" > "Privacy."
    • Select "Status" and choose "Nobody" if you want to hide your status updates from everyone, or select specific contacts if you prefer a more tailored approach.
  6. Avoid Blue Ticks:

    • While not directly related to online visibility, avoiding blue ticks can make it seem like you’re less active. Turn off read receipts as mentioned earlier and avoid opening messages if you don't want to send a read confirmation.

By following these steps, you can significantly reduce your visibility on WhatsApp, making it appear as though you are not online to other users.
