How to make yourself invisible in WhatsApp for one contact - in detail?

Making yourself invisible on WhatsApp for a specific contact involves altering your privacy settings and using certain features to minimize your visibility. Here’s a detailed guide on how to achieve this:

Adjust Privacy Settings

1. Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your device.
2. Go to Settings: On Android, tap on the three dots in the top-right corner and select "Settings". On iOS, tap on "Settings" at the bottom of the screen.
3. Account Privacy: Navigate to "Account" > "Privacy".

Manage Your Visibility

1. Last Seen: This setting controls who can see when you were last online. To make yourself invisible to one contact:
   • Tap on "Last Seen".
   • Choose "Nobody". This will hide your online status from everyone, including the specific contact.
2. Profile Photo: Control who can see your profile picture.
   • Tap on "Profile Photo".
   • Select "Nobody" to prevent anyone from seeing your photo.
3. Status: Manage who can view your status updates.
   • Tap on "Status".
   • Choose "My Contacts Except..." and add the contact you want to make invisible to.

Use Read Receipts Judiciously

1. Read Receipts: This feature indicates whether you have read a message or not.
   • Go to "Account" > "Privacy".
   • Tap on "Read Receipts".
   • Turn off the toggle for all contacts, including the one you want to be invisible to.

Archive Chats

1. Archiving: Archiving a chat can help minimize visibility without deleting it.
   • Long-press on the specific contact’s chat.
   • Tap on the archive icon (usually a downward arrow) at the top of the screen. This will move the conversation out of your main chats list but won’t delete it. You can still access it later if needed.

Mute Notifications

1. Mute: Muting notifications from a specific contact can help in reducing interaction visibility.
   • Open the chat with that contact.
   • Tap on their name at the top of the screen.
   • Select "Mute Notifications".
   • Choose how long you want to mute the notifications (e.g., 8 hours, 1 week).

Delete Contact’s Media from Gallery

1. Media Visibility: Preventing media shared by a contact from appearing in your gallery can add an extra layer of invisibility.
   • Open WhatsApp settings.
   • Go to "Chats" > "Media Visibility".
   • Turn off the toggle for "Show Media in Gallery".

By following these steps, you can significantly reduce your visibility on WhatsApp for a specific contact. Keep in mind that while these methods help, they do not guarantee complete invisibility due to the nature of the platform's design and features.
