How to make WhatsApp show that you are offline on iPhone - in detail?

To make WhatsApp appear as if you are offline on your iPhone, you can follow these detailed steps:

1. Disable Read Receipts:

   • Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
   • Scroll down and tap on "WhatsApp."
   • Toggle off the switch next to "Read Receipts." This will prevent others from seeing when you've read their messages, giving the impression that you might be offline.

2. Turn Off Last Seen:

   • In the WhatsApp settings, tap on "Account."
   • Select "Privacy."
   • Tap on "Last Seen" and choose "Nobody" from the options. This will hide your last seen status from everyone, making it appear as if you are not actively using WhatsApp.

3. Disable Profile Picture:

   • Still in the Privacy settings, tap on "Profile Photo."
   • Choose "Nobody" to prevent others from seeing your profile picture. This can give the impression that your account is less active.

4. Turn Off Status Updates:

   • In the Privacy settings, tap on "Status."
   • Select "My Contacts" or "Only Share with..." and choose specific contacts if you wish to share status updates with only a few people. This limits who can see your status updates, making it seem like you are not regularly updating your status.

5. Disable Notifications:

   • Go back to the main Settings app and tap on "Notifications."
   • Find WhatsApp in the list and toggle off all notifications. This will prevent message previews from appearing on your lock screen, which can indicate that you are online.

6. Use Airplane Mode:

   • If you want a more definitive way to appear offline, switch your iPhone to Airplane Mode.
   • Open the Control Center by swiping down from the top-right corner of the screen (for models with Face ID) or swipe up from the bottom of the screen (for models with Touch ID).
   • Tap on the airplane icon to enable Airplane Mode. This will disconnect your device from all networks, including cellular and Wi-Fi, making it appear as if you are offline.

By following these steps, you can effectively make WhatsApp show that you are offline on your iPhone. This is particularly useful for maintaining privacy or avoiding unwanted messages during certain times of the day.
