How to make yourself invisible to everyone in WhatsApp - in detail?

To make yourself invisible to everyone on WhatsApp, you can adjust your privacy settings and use certain features that the app offers. Here's a detailed guide:

1. Last Seen: By default, your contacts can see when you were last online. To change this:

   • Go to Settings > Account > Privacy > Last Seen.
   • You have three options: Everyone, My Contacts, or Nobody. Select "Nobody" to make yourself invisible in terms of your last seen status.

2. Profile Photo: If you don't want anyone to see your profile photo:

   • Go to Settings > Account > Privacy > Profile Photo.
   • Choose "Nobody".

3. About: Your About section includes details like your status message, which can be seen by others. To hide it:

   • Go to Settings > Account > Privacy > About.
   • Select "Nobody".

4. Status: When you share a status update, it's visible to all your contacts. To control who sees your status updates:

   • Tap on the Status tab at the top of the screen.
   • Before sharing a new status, tap on the three dots (⋮) in the bottom right corner and select "Status Privacy".
   • You can choose to share with Everyone, My Contacts, or specific contacts only.

5. Read Receipts: These are the blue ticks that indicate you've read a message. To turn them off:

   • Go to Settings > Account > Privacy > Read Receipts.
   • Toggle it off. This will hide your read receipts from everyone, but remember, you won't be able to see others' read receipts either.

6. Live Location: If you share your live location with someone, they can see where you are in real-time. To stop sharing:

   • Open the chat with the person you're sharing your location with.
   • Tap on "Stop Sharing" at the bottom of the screen.

7. Blocking Contacts: If there are specific contacts you want to be invisible to, consider blocking them:

   • Go to Settings > Account > Privacy > Blocked Contacts.
   • Add the contact(s) you wish to block.

By adjusting these settings, you can significantly reduce your visibility on WhatsApp, making yourself effectively invisible to everyone. However, please note that while these steps can enhance your privacy, no method is foolproof. Always be cautious about what you share online.
