To achieve invisibility on WhatsApp Android, users can leverage several settings and features that control their visibility status. Here is a detailed guide on how to make yourself invisible on WhatsApp Android:

1. Last Seen Status: By default, WhatsApp shows your last seen status to everyone in your contact list. To hide this information, follow these steps:

   • Open WhatsApp and go to the "Settings" tab.
   • Tap on "Account."
   • Select "Privacy."
   • Choose "Last Seen & Online."
   • Set it to "Nobody" if you want no one to see your last seen status, or select "My Contacts" if you prefer only your contacts to know.

2. Profile Picture: If you wish to hide your profile picture from specific individuals or everyone, you can do so by:

   • Navigating to the "Settings" tab.
   • Selecting "Account."
   • Tapping on "Privacy."
   • Choosing "Profile Photo."
   • Setting it to "Nobody," "My Contacts," or "Everyone" according to your preference.

3. About Section: The information in the "About" section of your profile can also be hidden:

   • Go to the "Settings" tab.
   • Select "Account."
   • Tap on "Privacy."
   • Choose "About."
   • Set it to "Nobody," "My Contacts," or "Everyone."

4. Read Receipts: Disabling read receipts ensures that others cannot see when you have read their messages:

   • Go to the "Settings" tab.
   • Select "Account."
   • Tap on "Privacy."
   • Turn off the toggle for "Read Receipts."

5. Status Privacy: If you share WhatsApp status updates and wish to limit who can see them, adjust your status privacy settings:

   • Open WhatsApp and go to the "Status" tab.
   • Tap on the three dots in the top-right corner.
   • Select "Status Privacy."
   • Choose between "My Contacts," "My Contacts Except..." (to exclude specific contacts), or "Only Share With..." (to select specific contacts).

6. Blocking Contacts: For complete invisibility from specific individuals, consider blocking them:

   • Open WhatsApp and go to the chat with the contact you want to block.
   • Tap on the three dots in the top-right corner.
   • Select "More" and then "Block."

By carefully adjusting these settings, users can significantly reduce their visibility on WhatsApp Android, achieving a level of invisibility that suits their preferences.
