How to set an invisible mode on iPhone in WhatsApp - briefly?

To enable the "invisible" mode on your iPhone in WhatsApp, you need to disable the "Last Seen," "Read Receipts," and set your status to "Nobody." This will ensure that others cannot see when you were last online or if you have read their messages.

How to set an invisible mode on iPhone in WhatsApp - in detail?

To set an "invisible" mode on your iPhone in WhatsApp, you need to adjust several settings to ensure that others cannot see when you are online or when you have read their messages. Here is a detailed guide:

  1. Turn Off Read Receipts:

    • Open WhatsApp on your iPhone.
    • Tap on "Settings" at the bottom right corner of the screen.
    • Select "Account."
    • Choose "Privacy."
    • Under the "Messages" section, toggle off "Read Receipts." This will prevent others from knowing when you have read their messages.
  2. Disable Last Seen:

    • In the same "Privacy" settings menu, under the "Last Seen & Online" section, select who can see your last seen and online status.
    • Choose "Nobody." This will hide your last seen timestamp and online status from everyone, making it harder for others to know when you are active on WhatsApp.
  3. Turn Off Profile Photo:

    • While still in the "Privacy" settings menu, under the "Profile Photo" section, select who can see your profile photo.
    • Choose "Nobody." This will ensure that only you can see your profile photo, making it less likely for others to recognize you.
  4. Block Specific Contacts (Optional):

    • If there are specific contacts you want to be invisible to, you can block them.
    • Go back to the main screen of WhatsApp and tap on "Contacts" or "Chats."
    • Select the contact you wish to block and tap on their name at the top of the screen.
    • Scroll down and tap on "Block Contact." Confirm your decision.
  5. Avoid Blue Ticks:

    • Although you cannot completely avoid blue ticks when sending messages, you can minimize their appearance by not opening messages from certain contacts until you are ready to respond. This way, they won't see the blue ticks indicating that you have read their message.

By following these steps, you will significantly increase your privacy on WhatsApp and make it more difficult for others to know when you are online or have read their messages.
