How to Appear Offline on Whatsapp Even While Opening the Whatsapp Application – WhatsApp users can appear to be offline even though they are actually online on an Android cellphone or iPhone. Users can use this method to make people think that you are not ready to chat on WhatsApp.

This step is used so that you are not disturbed by your colleagues or office partners. Plus, when you're on holiday suddenly a work problem message comes into the application.

Here are the steps to make it appear offline even if you open the WhatsApp program again:

The quick reply feature allows WhatsApp users to reply directly from the home screen without appearing online. The process works well if you want to use WhatsApp only to reply to messages and not view photos and videos.

For iPhones:

  • – This feature appears on the main screen of the cellphone. Just swipe the notification of an incoming new message to the left, then tap the display option and reply.

For Android:

  • Tap the message on the home screen. 'Mark as read' and 'reply' options will appear, tap reply to send the message.

The quick reply feature in WhatsApp not only lets you reply from the notification panel and without opening the app, but also hides your online status from other contacts. So, only you and your chosen contacts can chat now without anyone knowing that you are online.

  • Airplane mode

You can turn on airplane mode to appear offline when you send messages.

  1. Switch the phone to airplane mode
  2. Open WhatsApp, open the contact of the person you want to send the message to, open it.
  3. Type a message, press the send button while WhatsApp is running in the background.
  4. Turn off Airplane mode. The message will be sent to the recipient without you being visible online.

Turn off cellular data and WiFi

If you are the type of person who often watches online shows or reads online articles on your cellphone and doesn't feel disturbed when messages come in, you can turn off cellular data and WiFi specifically for WhatsApp.

For Android:

  1. Open the Settings option on your phone
  2. Go to Manage Apps or Installed apps
  3. Open the WhatsApp app
  4. Select Data Usage. Now disable mobile data or data usage, disable WiFi and background data too.
  5. Remove WhatsApp from recent apps.

According to the official WhatsApp page, there is no way provided by WhatsApp to hide when you are online or typing. You can only choose not to share last seen timestamps which prevents you from seeing other users' last seen timestamps.

If you turn off read reports, you won't be able to see other users' read reports either. Meanwhile, you won't be able to see whether a contact has seen your status update if a contact has read receipts turned off.
