Just remember the Online Status in WhatsApp settings impacts all your chats, not just a single contact.įor some additional privacy, you can also turn off Read Receipts in WhatsApp if you’d like. This may be useful if you want to add some additional privacy to your WhatsApp usage, but it could be particularly useful if you’re adding a new contact to WhatsApp and interacting with them but you don’t quite trust them yet. Remember, choosing to hide your online status and last seen status on WhatsApp will also prevent you from seeing other users statuses and if they’re online or when they were last online. Exit out of WhatsApp settings and use the app as usual, with your online status (or lack of status) set.
