   If you open a chat, a message below the person's name will tell you what time that person was last online. Also, when a person comes online, you are able to see it. You know that the person is holding their phone at that very moment, probably going through chats, writing responses, or whatever else.

   If you don't want people to see when you logged in to WhatsApp last time, or if you don't want others to see that you are online, you make yourself invisible. To do this, we need to go to Account.

   You can make yourself invisible for everyone or just for strangers. Let's say some stranger got your phone number, and since you are saved on his phone, he can see you every time you log in and when you are online. In that case, you make yourself visible just for your contacts. Tap on My Contacts, and a check will appear over on the far right across from Contacts. Now, these are the only people who can see you online or just those other people who know that you are holding your phone.

    If you don't even want your contacts to see you being online, you can tap on Nobody. The check mark will move to that line. Now, no one can see that you're online.

    Tap on Privacy at the top left to go back.

    There is another way to make yourself invisible. Go to Status. Status means that you're online or offline.

    

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help

    Right now, everybody can see if I'm online or not. Like before, I can allow just my contacts to see me online by tapping on that option.

    Again, if I tap on Nobody, and then nobody can see me online.

Hello, every time I try to send a video from my PC to WhatsApp on my iPhone iOS, unfortunately, the video appears black without any image or thumbnail! How can I have my video with a visible image before it plays, in other words, how can I have my video with a thumbnail so that it appears appealing to others before they open the video and play it?!

HI! How can I turn invisible on iOS and not sending blue ticks to the sender?

How can I turn invisible on ios- iPhone 6 and not sending blue ticks to the sender

Under Settings>Accounts>Privacy there is an option to hide Read Receipts. Once you select that then the sender will not know that you viewed their message. The only issue with this option is that you also will not be able to see if someone read your message that you sent. It widely blocks to the server all receipts.

It is not working. I followed instructions but I appear as "online"?

Hi, it seems that it is impossible to be invisible on WhatsApp. i.e. not show that you are online?

Please see above. I don't want to appear as online on WhatsApp. You give instructions on how to be invisible but it doesn't work. Settings privacy, last seen and status even if turned to nobody still show you as online as soon as you open WhatsApp

I have gone all steps as advised and I have turned everything to "nobody" however some people are able to see me online. What should be the problem?

I want to invisible and I have gone through the steps you have mentioned and I have ticked "nobody" for everything but it would appear that I am still online. Why is this so and how can I eliminate this online status. The situation is that my iPhone is still visible despite taking all the steps to invisible
