With WhatsApp being one of the most widely used instant messaging apps, many users are seeking more privacy—particularly when it comes to hiding their "online" status. Fortunately, Meta, the parent company of WhatsApp, has introduced a feature that allows users to hide their online presence without needing to go offline. This feature is part of a broader rollout of advanced privacy tools and is now available for all users on Android and iPhone devices. It enables you to control who can see when you're online.

How to Enable the Feature:
Open the WhatsApp app on your phone.
Go to Settings.
Tap Privacy.
Select Last Seen & Online.
Under Who can see when I'm online, choose Same as Last Seen or Nobody.
Once enabled, no one will be able to see that you're online—even while you're actively using the app. You won’t need to enable airplane mode or disconnect from the internet to stay hidden.
Can You Still Reply to Messages While Hidden?
Yes. This feature does not affect your ability to send or receive messages. You can chat and reply normally, and your contacts won’t know you’re online at that moment.
Additional Steps to Enhance Privacy:
Hide "Last Seen" from specific contacts.
Enable disappearing messages in sensitive conversations.
Turn off read receipts (blue checkmarks) for even more privacy.
These options give users more control over their visibility and data while staying connected seamlessly.
