How To Hide Online Status On WhatsApp?

First of all, we will discuss Whastapp. Then we will move further to other details. Let’s start.

What is WhatsApp?

WhatsApp started as an alternative to SMS. WhatsApp is now supporting sending and receiving a variety of media: text, photos, videos, documents, and location, as well as voice calls. Some of your most personal moments are shared with WhatsApp, which is why WhatsApp Team built end-to-end encryption into this app.

End-to-end Encryption

When you chat with another person using WhatsApp Messenger, end-to-end encryption ensures only you and the person you’re communicating with can read or listen to what is sent, and nobody in between, not even WhatsApp.

End-to-end encryption means there is no centralized system between sender and receiver. Instead, when Sender sends a message, the system changes it to an encrypted form. This encrypted form is impossible to crack.

An encrypted message example is given below.

What is last seen and online in WhastApp

Last Seen and online tell you the last time your contacts used WhatsApp or if they’re online.

If a contact is online, they have WhatsApp open in the foreground on their device and are connected to the Internet. However, it doesn’t necessarily mean the contact has read your message.

Last seen refers to the last time the contact used WhatsApp. Through our privacy settings, you have the option to control who can see your last seen. Please note you can’t hide your online.

How to change your WhatsApp privacy settings

By default, WhatsApp sets your privacy settings to allow:

• Any user to see your last seen, profile photo, about information, and read receipts
• Your contacts to see your status updates
• Any users to add you to groups

How To Hide Online Status On WhatsApp?

There are different ways to hide WhatsApp Hide status, but it’s not official. Because WhatsApp officially is not offering this feature.

Some other WhatsApp apps provide a lot of features, but these apps can cause scams, malware, and other unethical activity. Soo, I would not recommend you to use or install these apps on your phone. These apps can steal your data from your phone and break your privacy.

But Offificaly Whatsapp is not providing this feature to hide your online and Typing feature in WhatsApp.

Here are some notes About WhatsApp Privacy.

• If you don’t share your last seen, you won’t be able to see other users’ last seen.

• If you turn off read receipts, you won’t be able to see read receipts from other users. Read receipts are always sent for group chats.
  
• If a contact has turned off read receipts, you won’t be able to see if they’ve viewed your status updates.
  
• There’s no way to change you can see when you’re online or typing….
