WhatsApp regularly receives new features that are more or less relevant to you. However, for some time now, you have been able to make a configuration that protects you better. At first it was only available for beta testers, now it is accessible to all of you.

WhatsApp: hide online status
WhatsApp is constantly improving data protection. However, not all new features and options are enabled at the factory. You have to make changes manually to protect yourself optimally. Recently, an option was activated with which hide your online status. Although I had access to it before using the beta version, I had not activated the option. Now that anyone can use the function, you must also activate them. Is that how it works:
- start whatsapp
- Top right at the three points ⋮ to walk
- ⚙️ Settings open
- privacy open
- Last online/Online open
- Under Who can see if I am online? in Same as last seen Select
- If you’re up now Who can see my last seen timestamp? the option No one select, no one can see when you are online
It should look like this:
You can of course decide individually whether you really want complete data protection and do not want to share anything. It is important that you at least limit yourself a bit so that not all WhatsApp users can access you. So stalker shows are powerless.
These are the best WhatsApp alternatives:
WhatsApp blocks cell phone function
WhatsApp not only allows greater data protection in the online status area, but also with auto-delete messages. You can no longer take a screenshot of an auto delete message on mobile. The function is blocked. Since this cannot be done on PC, WhatsApp just disabled auto-delete messages there. If you receive such a notification, you can only see it on your mobile phone.
