Several WhatsApp users have already faced the desire for anonymity. The desire is to read the messages and browse the app without being reported that you are online. However, it is still not possible to achieve such a feat through the messenger settings. However, there are some ways to browse without the online sim.

First, it should be noted that WhatsApp allows you to disable the message display. That is, the user can read a message without the “dashes” turning blue. However, this does not hide the “online” status in the application.
Likewise, everyone can see when you are typing text or recording audio. There are also no ways to hide the messages that denounce your action. At least, there are no official and safe ways.
The only official way to make this happen is to block contact. However, when you block, you will not receive messages from that person. Generally, this is also not the intention of those who want anonymity.
Beware of external programs
There are some websites and apps that hide user status. Thus, it is not possible to show when you are online or sending a message.
However, for these software to work, you need to provide data from the application and your device. This requirement does not sound very secure. After all, there really is no security or guarantee whatsoever.
WhatsApp does not recommend any external programs to perform actions within the app. The objective is to guarantee the security of the data of each of the users.
After all, if anonymity is the desire of those who seek these features, sharing data must not be a positive thing, right?
Check out 3 ways to not appear online on WhatsApp
Even if there is no specific configuration, it is possible to read the messages without going “online”. By the way, it is also possible to type and record messages “hidden”.
1 – Peeking through the notification bar
The first trick to read a conversation without reporting that it's online is through notifications. Just lower the notification bar to read the messages that are available on WhatsApp.
The problem with this method is its limitation. Only the latest notifications are available, yet few messages can be read this way. You will also not be able to listen to the audios.
2 – Use airplane mode
However, what you can do is put your phone in airplane mode. Simple as that: no connection, no “online”.
In airplane mode you can read all the messages and listen to the audios that have already been downloaded. All this without changing your status. In fact, it is even possible to type and record messages without the contact knowing.
In this case, messages will be sent as soon as the connection is reestablished. In other words, anonymity is guaranteed.
3 – Disconnect
This option works identically to the previous one. The only difference is that even without connection it is still possible to make and receive calls.
It is worth noting that there are also programs that promise to let you read the device's notifications in full. However, the problem is the same as mentioned above. You will need to give access to your data for the action to take place.
