How to hide your WhatsApp Online Status? Step-by-step guide for Android, iPhone users

 

How to hide WhatsApp online status? The instant messaging app WhatsApp has made life easier when it comes to chatting with our near and dear ones and even for official purposes. WhatsApp by default gives users the ability to check whether their message has been delivered or not and even they can know if their messages have been read or not. A double tick means the messages have been delivered and a double blue tick means the messages have been read. Similarly, WhatsApp also allows users to see whether people in their contacts are online or not. But not all people like it. Many WhatsApp users want to keep their online status secret or hidden and WhatsApp came out with this feature in August 2022.
