How to make yourself invisible in WhatsApp on an iPhone - in detail?

To make yourself invisible in WhatsApp on an iPhone, you can adjust several settings that control your visibility and privacy. Here's a detailed guide to help you achieve this:

1. Last Seen Privacy: By default, everyone in your contacts list can see when you were last active on WhatsApp. To change this:

   • Open WhatsApp and go to "Settings" (the gear icon at the bottom right).
   • Tap on "Account".
   • Select "Privacy".
   • Under "Last Seen", choose who can see your activity status. Options include "Everyone", "My Contacts", or "Nobody". To make yourself invisible, select "Nobody".

2. Profile Photo Privacy: You may want to hide your profile photo from people you don't know:

   • In the same "Privacy" settings menu, tap on "Profile Photo".
   • Choose who can see your photo. Options include "Everyone", "My Contacts", or "Nobody". For maximum invisibility, select "Nobody".

3. Status Privacy: Your status updates can also reveal your activity:

   • Still in the "Privacy" settings, tap on "Status".
   • Select who can see your status updates. Options include "Everyone", "My Contacts", or "Nobody". To make yourself invisible, select "Nobody".

4. Read Receipts: Disabling read receipts prevents others from knowing if you've seen their messages:

   • Go back to the main "Settings" menu.
   • Tap on "Messages".
   • Turn off "Read Receipts".

5. Blocking Contacts: If there are specific people you want to be invisible to, you can block them:

   • In the chat with the contact you want to block, tap on their name at the top.
   • Scroll down and select "Block [Contact Name]".

6. DND (Do Not Disturb) Mode: This feature prevents WhatsApp from disturbing you during certain hours or permanently:

   • Go back to the main "Settings" menu.
   • Tap on "Notifications".
   • Turn on "Do Not Disturb". You can customize this setting further by tapping on "Schedule".

By adjusting these settings, you can significantly reduce your visibility in WhatsApp on an iPhone and maintain a higher level of privacy.
