2 Ways to Get Rid of Online Status on WhatsApp
This method does not require third-party applications or root access. This will only rely on the settings in the WhatsApp application itself, and a few other tricks to keep your online status hidden.
First step
- Open the WhatsApp application as usual.
- Then tap the dot icon in the upper right corner.
- After that tap the reading “Settings” to enter the WhatsApp settings menu.
- If you have entered the settings menu, tap the reading “Account“.
- Next, tap the reading “Privacy” to enter the privacy settings
- In the menu, you will see many options. Immediately, tap the reading “Last Seen” and select the option “Nobody“
That way, other users will not be able to see the status “Online” and the status of “Last Seen“. But unfortunately, the online status only does not appear if you have stopped using the application, and that status will reappear if you use the application again. To overcome this, you can use the second method.
Second way
The second way is very useful if you don’t want to bring up online status with friends. However, on the other hand you have to reply to messages from other users quickly, whether it’s someone important, a boyfriend or something else.
- If there is an incoming message, and you must reply as soon as possible, but don’t want to bring up the online status, don’t be too hasty to open the message.
- So that the online status does not appear, all you have to do is turn on “Airplane Mode” before opening the message
- Then, open WhatsApp as usual
- Now open the chat room of the person you want to reply to. Then reply to the message.
- If you have already replied, exit the WhatsApp application
- After that, turn off “Airplane Mode” and your message will be sent if the cellular data is already on
Actually, this method can still bring up online status. However, this status will only appear in a very short time. After all, there is no way anyone will monitor at any time to check your online status. That person will not even know when you last used the WhatsApp application because the feature has been previously disabled in the first way.
That’s how to disable the “online” feature on WhatsApp. May be useful!
