How to Chat on WhatsApp Without Being Seen Online

It's a no-brainer, really: some individuals prefer to respond to a WhatsApp message without seeming to be online. In this post, we'll teach you how to avoid prying eyes and busybodies when responding to messages on instant messenger without making your online status visible to everyone. Of course, where end-to-end encryption is maintained, security remains a top priority.

If you've ever avoided replying to WhatsApp messages in order to prevent other contacts from seeing that you were online at any particular moment, you'll understand what this post is about. Yes, you do respect your privacy.

Why we use whats-app?

People use WhatsApp because it is a cross-platform messaging and voice over IP (VoIP) service that allows users to send messages, make voice and video calls, share images and documents, and use end-to-end encryption for added security. The app is available for free on a wide range of devices, including smartphones, tablets, and computers, and can be used to communicate with individuals or groups of people. Additionally, WhatsApp is easy to use and set up, and it integrates well with other apps and services, making it a popular choice for communication among friends, family, and colleagues.

1. Make use of the "Reply" button on smartphone or smart alerts.

Responding from your Android or iOS notifications alert is the simplest way to seem offline on WhatsApp while sending a message, and this strategy also works on KaiOS. To accomplish this, message notifications must be enabled in the operating system's settings:

  • Navigate to Settings on your smartphone (Android or Settings).
  • Go to Applications and then WhatsApp.
  • Enable all notifications by selecting Notifications.

After that, whenever you receive a message notice, click on the drop-down option to reply to the message without having to run WhatsApp. It is there that you may enter your response and email it without it appearing online or impacting your Last seen status.

If you have a smart watch that syncs with your WhatsApp account, such as a wristwatch or fitness bracelet, you may do the same thing when sending a reply without appearing online in the chat.

2. Disable your data plan or Wi-Fi connection before sending the message

Again, we don't care why you don't want to be online on WhatsApp when sending a message. This is not a particularly practical manoeuvre, but it works. All you have to do is turn off your mobile data and Wi-Fi connection before writing and sending your messages.

When your internet connection is restored, WhatsApp will send the message without changing your status from offline to online.

Follow the steps below to do this:

  • Disable your Android or iOS device's mobile data and Wi-Fi connections.
  • Launch WhatsApp and the chat thread to which you want to respond.
  • Create the message.
  • WhatsApp should be closed.
  • Reactivate your data or Wi-Fi connection.
  • WhatsApp will deliver the message automatically.

It is extremely complex that WhatsApp does not allow users to stay private when using the service.
