How to see the time in WhatsApp if it's hidden - in detail?
To view the time of messages in WhatsApp when it is initially hidden, you can follow these detailed steps:
- Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your device. This can be done by tapping on the WhatsApp icon from your home screen or app drawer.
- Navigate to the Chat: Go to the specific chat where you want to see the message timestamps. If the timestamps are hidden, they will not be visible immediately upon opening the chat.

Enable Timestamps:
- For iOS Devices: Swipe left on the message for which you want to see the timestamp. This action will reveal the time at which the message was sent or received.
- For Android Devices: Tap and hold on the message until a menu appears, then select "Info" from the options provided. This will open a detailed view of the message where the timestamp will be visible.

View Timestamps for All Messages (Optional): If you prefer to always see timestamps without having to manually reveal them:
- For iOS Devices: Go to "Settings" on your device, then select "WhatsApp." From there, navigate to "Notifications" and ensure that the "Show Preview" option is turned off. This will make message previews less intrusive and display timestamps more prominently in the chat list.
- For Android Devices: Open WhatsApp, tap on the three dots (menu) at the top right corner of the screen, then select "Settings." Go to "Notifications" and make sure that the "Show Preview" option is turned off or set to a minimal level. This will ensure that timestamps are more visible in the chat list.
By following these steps, you can easily view the time of messages in WhatsApp even when timestamps are initially hidden.
