Use these tricks to prevent your friends from seeing you “online”.
1st Method to Go Offline on WhatsApp: Setting the App
The first and easiest is to use the app's features and customize it at your discretion. The main advantage of this method is that there is no need to install third-party software and expose your mobile phone to danger.
So, to configure it, you must have the official WhatsApp application installed on your smartphone.
Step by step instructions:
- Launch the software.
- Then access the application menu from the icon with three dots.
- Select the settings section.
- Find the item to edit your account and click privacy settings.
- Then, to configure, go to the personal data access management section, which is called “Privacy” or “Confidentiality”, depending on the system.
- After opening all available settings, select “Last seen”.
- When activating the item, we will have three options displayed: everyone, my contacts and nobody.
- Finally, if you want to hide from everyone, you must select the “Nobody” item.
2nd Method: Airplane mode to go offline on Whatsapp
When airplane mode is activated, you will automatically disconnect all available network connections. However, all messages that the user sent you will already be saved on your device.
Of course, we must take some care if we don't want to be caught when we activate the connection again: before removing airplane mode we have to completely close WhatsApp. If we don't and it stays in the background, it will show that you have read the messages.
3rd Method: Using Apps
Finally, perhaps one of the most effective is the trick of installing an application that allows us to read messages without appearing online.
It is a recommended option, as there are many applications that allow us a series of options and advantages that WhatsApp itself does not allow. But this also has disadvantages, because they can cause our phone to be flooded with malware.
On Android, you can install a special application called unseen. It works with WhatsApp, Viber, Telegram, as well as Facebook Messenger and allows you to view messages without appearing online in any of them.
