How to make yourself invisible in WhatsApp on Android - in detail?

To make yourself invisible in WhatsApp on an Android device, you need to adjust several privacy settings. Here's a detailed guide on how to achieve this:

1. Last Seen Status:

   • Open WhatsApp and tap on the three dots (⋮) in the top right corner.
   • Select "Settings" from the menu.
   • Go to "Account."
   • Tap on "Privacy."
   • Under "Who can see my personal info," select "Last seen."
   • Choose "Nobody" from the options provided. This will hide your last seen status from everyone, making it seem like you are not active on WhatsApp.

2. Profile Photo:

   • In the same Privacy settings, tap on "Profile photo."
   • Select "Nobody" to ensure that no one can see your profile picture.

3. About Section:

   • Still in the Privacy settings, tap on "About."
   • Choose "Nobody" to hide your status from everyone.

4. Read Receipts:

   • While still in the Privacy settings, scroll down and find "Read receipts."
   • Turn off this feature by unchecking the box. This will prevent others from knowing when you have read their messages.

5. Status Updates:

   • To hide your status updates, tap on "Status" in the Privacy settings.
   • Choose "My contacts" or a specific group of contacts if you want to limit who can see your status updates. Alternatively, select "Only share with..." and then deselect all options to make your status visible only to you.

6. Live Location:

   • To prevent others from tracking your live location, go back to the main Settings menu.
   • Tap on "Location" under the Privacy section.
   • Turn off the option that allows WhatsApp to access your location.

7. Blocking Contacts (Optional):

   • If you want to be completely invisible to specific contacts, consider blocking them.
   • Go to the chat with the contact you wish to block.
   • Tap on the three dots (⋮) in the top right corner.
   • Select "More" and then tap on "Block."

By following these steps, you can effectively make yourself invisible in WhatsApp on your Android device, enhancing your privacy and control over who can see your activity and personal information.
