How to remove the time stamp from your WhatsApp profile - in detail?

Removing the timestamp from your WhatsApp profile can enhance privacy and present a cleaner appearance. While WhatsApp does not offer a built-in feature specifically for this purpose, you can achieve it through some workarounds. Here are detailed steps to remove or hide the timestamp from your WhatsApp profile:

  1. Profile Picture Editing:

    • Open WhatsApp and go to your profile by tapping on the three dots (⋮) in the top-right corner.
    • Select "Your Profile."
    • Tap on your current profile picture to edit it.
    • Use a photo editing app to remove or blur the timestamp from your image before setting it as your profile picture.
    • Save the edited image and set it as your new WhatsApp profile picture.
  2. Third-Party Apps:

    • There are third-party apps available that allow you to add a custom overlay to your profile picture, effectively hiding the timestamp.
    • Download and install an app like "Profile Picture Editor" or "Frame Maker."
    • Open the app and select your WhatsApp profile picture.
    • Use the app's tools to add an overlay that covers the timestamp area.
    • Save the edited image and set it as your new WhatsApp profile picture.
  3. Cropping:

    • If the timestamp is not in a crucial part of your photo, you can crop it out using the built-in cropping tool in WhatsApp.
    • Go to your profile by tapping on the three dots (⋮) and select "Your Profile."
    • Tap on your current profile picture to edit it.
    • Use the cropping tool to remove the area containing the timestamp.
