Have you ever had family or friends grumble because you took so long to reply to their messages even though your WhatsApp status was online? So that it doesn't happen again, there is an easy way to make WA status offline even though you are online.
You don't need to turn off WiFi or mobile internet connection. Even you still send WhatsApp messages as usual.
Just do the three ways below. Let's try!
1. Turn off Last Seen
The easiest way to look offline on WhatsApp is to turn off Last Seen. This is an indicator that shows when someone looks active and online on WhatsApp.
How to turn off Last Seen as follows:
Open the WhatsApp app
Click the three dots in the right corner
Press Settings
Select Account
Tap Privacy
Press on the Last Seen bagian
WhatsApp provides three options that users can choose to display their Last Seen, namely: Everyone (Everyone), Only Contacts (My Contacts), Not Shown to Anyone (Nobody).
Select the Nobody option so that your Last Seen is no longer visible.
2. Hide Status
The last step you can try to look offline on WhatsApp is to hide Status updates. This method can be applied to those of you who often make WhatsApp Status but don't want certain people to see it.
It's easy, first go to the Privacy/Privacy page as described above. Then look for the Status option at the bottom.
After that you will be shown a new window containing options for how you want to share Status updates. The 'My contacts' option will show your Status to all contacts, 'My contacts except...' will share your status to all contacts except the person you have selected, and 'Only share with' lets you choose who can see Status updates.
3. Turn off Blue Tick
The second way that is no less easy is to turn off 'Read receipts' or the two blue ticks. If this feature is turned on, the sender of the message will know you are online because there will be two blue ticks under their message indicating that you have read the chat.
To turn off this blue tick, go back to the Privacy page as above. After that look for the 'Read receipts' option.
You just click the button next to it to turn off Read Receipts. But keep in mind, if Read receipts is turned off, then you also can't see if other people have read your chat or not.
How about you, it's easy, not three ways to make WhatsApp look offline without the need to turn off the data described above.
