How to disappear from WhatsApp without deleting the app from your phone

It's easily to log out of most social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook or Snapchat and go invisible to earn some ‘me time’. However, when it comes to WhatsApp, as long as you have it on your smartphone, you simply can’t get rid of notifications. Also, it is not possible to delete and re-install the app every time you wish to go invisible for a limited period of time.

No matter whether you have switched off ‘Blue tick read receipts’ or not, the sender in a way gets a hint as to whether you have read the message or not. This is because the moment you open WhatsApp, you are shown as ‘Online’ to your contacts. Now, officially, there is not a one-tap solution to silence WhatsApp for a limited time period. But this article will help you beat the system without even downloading an additional app or disabling internet or silencing your mobile phone.

For those unaware, the easiest way to silence WhatsApp and go invisible is by downloading a Firewall app like Mobiwol or NoRoot Firewall on Android. These types of Firewall apps lets users deny internet connectivity to individual apps. Through these apps, you can choose to get emails on Gmail but deny WhatsApp internet connectivity for messages. However, most of these Firewall apps require the device to be rooted first. While the apps mentioned here -- Mobiwol or NoRoot Firewall — don’t require your phone to be rooted, we strongly do not recommend any third party apps like these over data privacy concerns.

Now, here is how you can go invisible on WhatsApp by just changing the settings. There are three steps to this. First, silence that WhatsApp tone without putting your phone on silent. Second, get rid of the WhatsApp icon or dot notifications (for new messages) on the notification bar. Third, disable notification light for WhatsApp. Lastly, remove WhatsApp shortcut on the home screen.

1.

Disable WhatsApp tune:

There’s no option to select ‘No Ringtone’ for your WhatsApp messages or calls. By default you will have to select a ringtone. If you want to silence it then you have no other option apart from putting your mobile on silent mode. The easiest hack around this is to create your own silent ringtone. Just record pin-drop silence for 2 seconds by using your audio recorder app and save it by a proper file name (For example silent ringtone). Open WhatsApp>>Settings>>Notifications. Select that ‘silent ringtone’ as your Notification tone and call ringtone.

2.

Disabling notifications in the form of WhatsApp icons or dots:

Go to your phone settings (under the general Android settings) >> Apps>> Open list of Apps>>Select WhatsApp>>Tap on Notification and disable all notifications for WhatsApp. Disable vibration and popups as well. Now, you will not get to know whether you have got any new messages unless and until you purposely open WhatsApp.

3.

Disable notification light:

This is simple. Open WhatsApp>>Settings>>Notifications>>Light. Select ‘none’. After this simply remove the WhatsApp shortcut from your home screen. By following these steps, you will continue to get WhatsApp messages in the background but you will never get to know about them. Out of sight and out of mind. No more WhatsApp tone for notifications to disturb you. To know whether you have received any WhatsApp text you will have to open WhatsApp inside the app menu and then check

4.

To stop WhatsApp from hogging your mobile data:

Go to your phone settings (under the general Android settings) >> Apps>> Open list of Apps>>Select WhatsApp. Then click on ‘Force stop’. Then disable ‘Background data’ (inside Data option) and finally, revoke all app permissions for WhatsApp.

5.

This will ‘kill’ WhatsApp altogether without uninstalling it.

However, you will still continue to get messages the moment you open WhatsApp. Yes, it is that stubborn! But now you know how to ignore them altogether.

6.

Pro Tip:

If you want the sender of the messages to not get a “Double Tick” signifying the delivery of the message then simply don’t open WhatsApp after you ‘Force Stop’ it from your phone settings.

How to Block Someone on WhatsApp

  • You can block unknown numbers on WhatsApp by adding them to your block list in the account settings.
  • Blocked contacts can't call or send messages to you, and your status updates won't be visible to them.
  • Once you block a number, WhatsApp won't notify them that they've been blocked.

WhatsApp is one of the most popular free instant-messaging apps, used to help people keep in touch with each other around the world.

While the messaging app provides a convenient platform for users to connect with friends, family and new acquaintances, it can sometimes also become a potential platform for unwanted contacts and violation of personal privacy.

Fortunately, it is very simple to block a contact on the messaging platform. Here are all the ways you can block and unblock a contact on WhatsApp, whether you're using the Android or iOS app. 

How to block a contact on WhatsApp 

You can block someone on Whatsapp with the mobile app for Android or iOS devices. 

On Android

1. Open WhatsApp.

2. Tap the three vertical dots in the top right-hand corner to access the More options menu. Then, tap Settings.

On Android, the Settings menu can be accessed via the three vertical dots icon. Steven John/Insider

Go to your account settings. Steven John/Insider

4. From the Account menu, tap Privacy, and then Blocked contacts.

Tap "Privacy," then scroll down and tap "Blocked contacts." Steven John/Insider

5. From the Blocked contacts page, tap the Add icon on the top right-hand corner.

Tap "Privacy," then scroll down and tap "Blocked contacts." Steven John/Insider

6. Search or select the contact you want to block.

Quick tip: If you've previously chatted with the contact, or you've received a message from an unknown number, you can block them directly in the chat. Open the chat and tap the three vertical dots. From there, tap More, then tap Block.

On iOS

1. Open WhatsApp.

2. Tap the Settings icon on the bottom right-hand corner.

3. In the Settings menu, tap Account.

What happens when you block someone on WhatsApp?

When you block someone on WhatsApp, you will no longer receive notifications, messages, calls or status updates from them.

In addition, your "last seen" timestamp and online status, plus any changes made to your profile, will not be visible to contacts you've blocked.

Note: WhatsApp does not notify a user when they have been blocked, so if you block someone, they won't know directly. Still, there are a few things a person can check to confirm they've been blocked.

17 ways to make WhatsApp safer and more private

October 23, 2019Technologies

Protect the messenger with a PIN code, remove information about the last time you were online, and hide notifications from prying eyes.

Share

0

1. Set up two-factor authentication

Two-factor authentication greatly increases the security of your account. It will protect you if scammers somehow get access to the SIM card.

Open WhatsApp and tap → Settings → Account → Two-Step Verification → Enable. Enter and remember the code you created, then enter your email address - you will need it if you need to reset your PIN. Click Done.

Now, every time you log into your WhatsApp account, in addition to the SMS code, you will also need to enter your PIN.

  • How to set up two-factor authentication for all your accounts

2. Disable pop-up messages

When your smartphone is locked, it still shows pop-up notifications. This is very convenient, but not safe: if you conduct confidential correspondence, anyone can spy on the contents of sent messages and the addressee's name on an unattended gadget. And it doesn't require a fingerprint or password.

Therefore, paranoid notifications should be turned off. There are two ways to do this: in WhatsApp itself and in the smartphone settings. In the messenger, open "Settings" → "Notifications". Turn off "Priority Notifications" in the "Messages" and "Groups" sections.

In the smartphone settings, the same is done as follows: open the system "Settings" → "Applications and notifications" → WhatsApp → "Notifications". Uncheck the "Show notifications" option.

If you don't want to turn off notifications completely, at least turn them off on the lock screen. To do this, tap "Settings" → "Lock screen" → "Advanced" → "Lock screen notifications". Here you can hide their content so as not to show the text of your messages to strangers, or simply disable them.

3. Block unwanted contacts

WhatsApp has a huge number of spammers, scammers and just weird and unpleasant people. Luckily, if you don't want to receive messages from someone, you can simply blacklist them.

Open a chat with an unwanted contact and tap "Menu" → "More" → "Block". Or select a conversation with him and press "Menu" → "View contact" → "Block".

You can view users in the black list and, if necessary, remove them from there by pressing "Menu" → "Settings" → "Account" → "Privacy" → "Blocked".

4. Hide your active time

All WhatsApp users can see the last time you went online. But you can disable this feature so that overly annoying interlocutors do not ask questions why you do not respond to their messages.

Go to "Menu" → "Settings" → "Account" → "Privacy". Click the item "Was (-s)". Change it from Everyone to Nobody. This way no one can see when you were last online. But keep in mind that in this case, you will not be able to see which of your friends when you went online.

5. Hide details

Details is the caption that appears next to your name in your contact list. For newly registered users, this field contains “Hey there! I am using whatsapp. You can specify ready-made statuses there, for example, “At work”, “Busy” or write any quotes.

And if the message in your Details field is not for everyone, tap Menu → Settings → Account → Privacy → Details and select either My Contacts or Nobody.

6. Hide statuses

Statuses allow you to share photos, videos, text, and GIFs that disappear after 24 hours. By default, they are shown to all your contacts. If you like to share gifs with cats with your friends, and they come to your boss, you run the risk of being in an awkward situation.

Therefore, go to "Menu" → "Settings" → "Account" → "Privacy" → "Status". Select the "Contacts except" option and specify the people you don't want to annoy with your pictures. Or click "Share With" and your statuses will only be shown to the people you choose.

7. Hide your photo

Perhaps you want only people you know to see your profile picture. To do this, tap "Menu" → "Settings" → "Account" → "Privacy" → "Profile photo" and select the option "My Contacts".

8. Hide the read receipt

When you receive and view a message from someone, the sender has a read receipt checkmark next to their reply in the chat. This is usually convenient, but can sometimes lead to awkward situations. For example, you forgot to write to a friend in time, and he was offended.

To avoid this, tap Settings → Account → Privacy and turn off Read Receipts. Please note, however, that in this case you will no longer see the notification checkmarks. And in group chats, this feature does not work.

9. Read messages in flight mode

There is a little trick for those who do not like the previous paragraph. If you don’t want to turn off read receipts, but still want to look at the received letter and not tell anyone about it, switch your smartphone to flight mode. Then open WhatsApp and read the message. Then close it, turn off airplane mode, and the sender won't get a read receipt.

10. Hide conversations

If you want to hide but not delete a WhatsApp conversation, you can archive it. Press and hold the desired chat until you highlight it. Then, in the top menu, tap the "Archive" button.

Of course, any person who even knows how to use WhatsApp will still find a hidden chat if you give him time to sit on your smartphone. But still, thanks to archiving, confidential dialogues are not so conspicuous.

To view the archive of chats, scroll to the very bottom of the list of conversations and click the inscription "Archived". There you can also remove conversations that you added by mistake.

11. Disable location sharing

WhatsApp allows you to easily share your location with your interlocutor. This is much faster than typing an address. By default, WhatsApp prompts you to choose how long to show your location to a friend: 15 minutes, an hour, or 8 hours.

But it would be embarrassing to find out that you showed someone your location in real time for a long time because you mistakenly sent geodata to the wrong person.

To avoid this, go to Settings → Account → Privacy → Location and make sure you don't share your movements with anyone else.

12. Send private messages from public chats

When you reply to someone's messages in public chats, everyone in the conversation can see it. But you can also send private responses. To do this, highlight the message in the general chat and select the "Reply in person" option from the menu.

13. Revoke unwanted administrator rights

Have you appointed someone as an administrator in a group you created, and he is abusing his authority? Revoke his rights. To do this, press and hold a group in the chat list, then tap Menu→Group Details. Select the name of the desired person and click "Revoke Admin".

14. Hide photos and videos from the gallery

By default, the WhatsApp client on Android saves all received media files to your smartphone's gallery. That is, if someone sent you a confidential photo, you may very well accidentally show it to your friends when you show off pictures from your vacation to them.

Go to Settings → Chats and turn off Media Visibility. Now uploaded files will not be saved in the gallery. At the same time, save mobile traffic.

15. Block the app

In WhatsApp for iPhone, you can secure the app with biometric authentication. Thanks to this, no one will be able to read the correspondence and send messages on your behalf, even if you leave your smartphone unattended.

Open WhatsApp and tap Settings → Account → Privacy → Screen lock. Turn on Touch ID for fingerprint recognition or Face ID for face recognition. Then choose how much time of inactivity to block WhatsApp after.

On Android, this feature is currently only available in the beta version of the app.

16. Delete unwanted messages

Sent someone a message and immediately realized that you shouldn't have done it? Whatsapp allows you to fix this error. To do this, press and hold the message until you highlight it, and then select the "Delete" option from the menu.

True, unlike Telegram, WhatsApp does not delete the message without a trace. Instead, the recipient will see "This message has been deleted." What you have sent will not be deleted after about an hour.

17. Disable message backup

WhatsApp can back up your conversations to Google Drive on Android or iCloud on iOS. This will come in handy if you want to recover your messages after a system reset or transfer them to another device.

But in the cloud, messages are stored in unencrypted form, which, by the way, WhatsApp warns about in the settings of this function. So if someone gets access to your vault, then the correspondence will be in the wrong hands. If you've secured Google Drive and iCloud with two-factor authentication, there's not much to worry about. But it’s still better for paranoid people to disable message backup altogether.

Tap "Settings" → "Chats" → "Backup Chats" → "Backup" and set the switch to "Never". Now WhatsApp will store copies of chats only in the smartphone's memory.

Communication in instant messengers does not exclude the possibility that your friends will be an annoying person who will bother you with useless messages. WhatsApp provides a convenient option that will save the subscriber from hateful correspondence with zero semantic load. You can also eliminate the possibility of communicating with people who do not deserve your attention or those with whom you are at loggerheads. The best solution to the problem is to learn how to block a contact on WhatsApp. Thus, the user will no longer be able to send you letters or make calls to your contact in the system. In addition, it is not a bad protection against ads.

Blocking a contact in WhatsApp - instruction

The procedure is quite simple and does not require any special knowledge, which allows even a novice user to cope without difficulty. The developers have provided several ways to send a subscriber to the ban list. The only condition that will allow you to quickly cope with the task is knowledge of the WhatsApp interface.

Method 1: Via chat

The best solution for those who want to quickly complete the procedure. With it, you can ban a person in WhatsApp right during the dialogue. To do this, follow these simple steps:

  1. Log in to the messenger by launching it from the desktop of the smartphone.
  2. Go directly to the dialog. There, in the upper right corner, click on the vertical ellipsis to open an additional menu.
  3. Among the additional options, select the button - Block.

After that, the contact will go to the WhatsApp ban list. You will no longer receive messages from a user within the system. But this will not protect against communication with him via mobile communications or other services.

Note! If this WhatsApp subscriber is blacklisted for spam and promotional messages, use the button - Spam and block.

Method 2: Using the privacy function

The more laborious process, however, has its advantages. In addition to the main task, you can also check the list of people who are on the ban list. You may want to unblock someone because you put it there by mistake.

To complete the procedure you will need:

  1. On the main page of the open WhatsApp, touch the button to call the main menu.
  2. Here you need to touch the first item - Account.
  3. Go down to the very bottom of the page where the privacy settings in messages are located. Press - Blocked.
  4. An available list of contacts will open, where you need to select a person.

    How to turn off whatsapp

    WhatsApp is a social network that is designed for correspondence and calls. One of the most popular instant messengers at the moment. It often happens that users may need to disable it. And in this article we will tell you how to do it.

    Why you need to disable the program

    First, let's determine why you need to disable WhatsApp. There are two cases:

    • If sounds and notifications bother you and you want to turn them off.
    • When you do not want to appear online.

    In the first case, simply disabling notifications will help, and you will not receive SMS alerts. Your interlocutor will see their messages as sent, but will also see that you have not yet read them.

    To turn off notifications on Iphone, go to settings, find WhatsApp and switch the notification slider from green to gray. Notifications will stop coming.

    On Android, go to the program itself, open the settings, select the "notifications" tab and disable all that you consider unnecessary.

    Thus, you will not receive notifications, and nothing will bother you. The main thing then is not to forget to return everything back.

    The second method will have more trouble, but it will give a good result, and you will disable this program.

    For iPhone: go to settings, look for WhatsApp in the list of applications. Next, click on “turn off cellular data”, while you need to turn off access to the Internet for everything to work. Thus, you will disable the program from accessing the Internet, and it will stop working.

    For Android: open the smartphone menu, then settings, the list of running programs, look for WhatsApp there, and force it to stop. The program will stop working and messages will not come until you start the application again.

    How to log out of WhatsApp on phone

    On Android, first you need to create a copy of all chats and correspondence just in case. To do this, go to the settings in the program and at the very bottom look for “chat settings”, and then backup chats” and create a copy of all data.

    To exit it, do the following: go to the mobile version of our messenger, open the settings. For the convenience of users, the WhatsApp Web tab was made, in which you can log out from all computers at once. That's all. Simple and pretty clear.

    How to block a WhatsApp account.
