How to return someone to active status in WhatsApp - in detail?
To reactivate a contact's active status on WhatsApp, follow these steps:
- Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your mobile device.
- Access Settings: Tap on the three vertical dots or the profile picture in the top right corner to open the menu. Select "Settings" from the dropdown list.
- Navigate to Account: In the settings menu, tap on "Account". This section contains various account-related options.
- Select Privacy: Under the "Account" section, find and tap on "Privacy". Here you can manage your privacy settings for last seen, profile photo, status, and blocks.
