WhatsApp users may find themselves in a difficult situation from time to time due to seeing and not replying to a message from the other person or responding late. Because WhatsApp already provides many details about whether you are online and whether you have read an incoming message or not.
In order not to fall into such a situation, it is useful to know the answer to the question “How to become invisible on WhatsApp”. In fact, even in the old MSN Messenger or ICQ there was an option to “see offline”, surprisingly it’s not a one-click action in WhatsApp.
Ways to Be Invisible on WhatsApp
However, there are ways to become invisible while using WhatsApp. We take a look at these options that can improve privacy and let users not know what you’re doing…
1. Hide “Last Seen & Online” status
You can prevent your contacts from knowing when you were last active on WhatsApp or whether you are currently online. Open the “Privacy” section in the app settings and then change the “Last Seen & Online” option to “Nobody”.
2. Turn off read receipts
This option has been around since 2015. When activated, the other person can be prevented from seeing that you have read the message. In other words, she’s removing the blue preppy from your life. But likewise, you lose the chance to see if the other party has read your messages.
To turn off the read receipt, simply follow the Settings – Privacy path and turn the Read Receipts button to the off position.
3. Use WAIncognito
WAIncognito works as a web browser extension. That’s why this option we’re talking about will only work for WhatsApp Web users. Once the plugin is installed, you can hide yourself from other people by using the “Don’t send last seen updates” option.
