WABetaInfois announcing a new stealth mode for WhatsApp users that will allow them to hide their online status. The new feature will allow you to conceal your“last seen”even when you are“online”& using the app.
This follows news after WhatsApp announced a few weeks ago that it is working on a new feature that will allow users to edit messages even when sent.
According to WABetainfo,“There may be different reasons why people want to use WhatsApp in stealth mode.”
“Some users want to use WhatsApp without being disturbed by other people.
“Or they feel stalked by someone.”
How to turn on stealth mode in WhatsApp
- Open Whatsapp Messenger.
- Select Settings and head to Accounts.
- Toggle to Privacy.
- Select who can see when I’m online.
When will you be able to hide your online status on WhatsApp?
