Whatsapp status is connected. Whatsapp new feature - statuses. How to hide viewing someone else's status


   Many people wonder how to view their guests on whatsapp. In the official version of the program this function is absent since its authors are against violating the privacy of users. If sometime authors nevertheless decide to enter this option, you will receive a notification about this. Of course, there are third-party programs that allow you to do this, but this is associated with a certain risk, because, firstly, your personal data will fall into their hands, and secondly, in the official version you may be banned for their use. So for your own safety, it’s better not to risk it.
But there are still some official ways to find out who came to your account.!

The only way to find out about guests in your account

It doesn’t matter if you have an Android or iPhone, if privacy settings are disabled, you can see if they’ve logged into your account or not. What do I need to do:

Why can’t you find out about all the contacts who visited your account

First, you need to understand that whatsap is not social network  by type of contact or facebook, but just a messenger. In which, in fact, you do not have your own page, but there is only a profile tied to a phone number. Simply put, there’s nothing to see but no place to go. You can only find out what your status and avatar is, there is nothing more. But reading the messages is already more interesting. But this can also be limited in the privacy settings. How to make sure that the person you are talking to does not know about visiting the vatsap and reading messages you will learn from the next article.

More recently, the Whastapp application, following the instagram, washed down a new function - statuses. Statuses or they are also called “storys” - these are short self-disappearing messages that can be placed for a maximum of 24 hours. The status in vatsap can be created from photos and videos. Let's talk about the privacy of statuses or how to hide their viewing from others.

How to show whatsapp status only to certain people

To begin with, a little theory: by default, only the person who is in your address book will see your status in vatsap. This means that if you do not change the settings in any way, then that person will not see them if his phone number is not saved in your phone book.

You can also change the status display settings:

  • you can show your status only to certain people (this changes at the time of creating the status)
  • you can not show the status to certain people (the same thing)

A very interesting feature with these statuses. Their creator sees how many people viewed his status. Not only that, he sees them names and viewing time. Very unpleasant thing, especially for me. I like to view other people's statuses, but I do not want them to know this. What to do?

How to hide the fact that I watched someone’s status?

In order to become invisible and does not panic when viewing other people's statuses, you need to go to the privacy settings Menu - Settings - Account - Privacyand uncheck Read Reports

Now your contact in vatsap that created the status will not see when you view it. Thus, you activate the “stealth mode”. But here is a stick about 2 ends. If you create a new status, then you will not be able to see how many people viewed it, and who it was specifically.

Also, by disabling read reports, you will not know if your message has been read by the addressee or not.

Just in case, let me remind you what the ticks mean.

What do checkboxes mean in Whatsapp

   vatsap checkmarks
  • two blue checkmarks - message read
  • two gray - message only delivered
  • one daw - the message was sent to whatsapp server
  • clock icon - the message has not yet been sent (no connection to the servers or no access to the Internet)

Sometimes you want your friends to not see the time you appeared online and not be able to see your photo or status. Knowing how to be invisible in WhatsApp, you can achieve more privacy and extra information about you will not fall into the wrong hands. The application allows you to hide the profile photo, status, as well as the time of the last appearance on the network, this information will be available only to those to whom you want to allow it.

By default, privacy settings open information about you to all users, you can change them in the appropriate section. Go to the “Settings” menu, then go to the “Account” section, and then “Privacy”. You can make information about you inaccessible to everyone or open it only for contacts from your address book. You can also turn off message reading reports, but then you too will not be able to see information from other users.
