Why vatsap does not show when a person was. How to hide the time of the last visit on WhatsApp

WhatsApp installed on your smartphone, whether iPhone or Android, can do more than you think. Of course, the application will not brew the coffee and will not iron the shirt, but it can make communication more convenient and efficient. The review will tell you about ten “secret” features in WhatsApp that everyone should know about.

WhatsApp messenger is used by more than a billion people around the world on both platforms - iOS and Android. The application provides the ability to exchange text messages, photos, videos for free, as well as make voice and video calls.

Review of ten hidden functions WhatsApp will help you become a real messenger professional, surprise your friends and customize the application to your own needs.

How to transfer all WhatsApp data to another phone

If you bought yourself new iPhone or replaced the old device with a new one on Android, you can go to new smartphoneby saving your entire WhatsApp chat history.

If the phone supports microSD card, then just go to the messenger menu, where to select "Settings" -\u003e "Chats" -\u003e "Backup chats." In addition, you can even put a daw on “Add video” to save a copy of the clips from the chats.

After that, insert the microSD card into the new smartphone, install WhatsApp and click the “Restore” button when the application prompts you to do this. If the backup file is in the built-in memory, you can find it using the explorer in the / sdcard / WhatsApp / folder and transfer the content manually.

An even more convenient way to save the entire history of correspondence in WhatsApp offers "cloud backup"- the ability to save a backup file to Google Drive, a free "cloud" from Google. This method works on both Android and iPhone.

How to hide the time of the last visit on WhatsApp

If you look at any contact on WhatsApp, then most likely you will see the line “was (was) today at XX: XX” under the username. Using this line you can understand when the contact last opened the application.

Don’t want your interlocutor to know that you are logged into WhatsApp? Then go to the settings and indicate there that the time of the last entry should not be shown to anyone. To do this, go to "Settings" -\u003e "Account" -\u003e "Privacy". Need the top line - "Visiting time" with the options to show "Everyone, only my contacts and no one." However, in this case, you stop seeing the time of the last visit to other users.

In WhatsApp privacy settings, you can also hide profile photos, status and disable read reports.

How to find out exactly when a WhatsApp message was read

In WhatsApp, that your interlocutor has read the message is informed by two small checkmarks next to him. To find out the exact time of delivery and reading the message, take a long time on it. A context menu will open at the top of the screen, where you should select the icon with “i”, and you will receive a mini-report about a message like “Delivered XX: XX, Read XX: XX”. On the iPhone, you can tap and drag to the left to see the reading time of the message.

How to password protect whatsapp

Owners of the iPhone, alas, can move on to the next point - it is impossible to set a password on WhatsApp for iOS without jailbreaking. On Android, everything is much simpler - there are tons of third-party applications that will reliably protect all WhatsApp correspondence with a password or PIN code. We recommend Messenger and Chat Block, AppLock and Smart AppLock.

Some applications can even take photos using the front-facing camera if someone tries to pick up a PIN code for your WhatsApp. On the Windows phone You can also try whatsapp app Locker If you use such exotic things as BlackBerry, then look for the Lock for Whats Messenger app.

How to run WhatsApp on a computer / laptop

If installed on your laptop / computer chrome browser, then follow the link to WhatsApp Web (https://web.whatsapp.com/) and follow the instructions that appear on the phone screen.

Make sure your smartphone is connected to the Internet - ideally via Wi-Fi, as the web application will sync everything with your phone. Launch WhatsApp, find the “WhatsApp Web” line in the menu and scan the QR code from the browser on your computer.

Now you can communicate in WhatsApp through a browser on your computer / laptop, all conversations and sent files will come both on the web and on your smartphone.

WhatsApp on iOS cannot communicate through the browser.

How to disable the display of photos sent via WhatsApp in the default application for viewing photos ("Gallery")

If you don’t want all the pictures and photos that you get on WhatsApp to be available in the Gallery on Android or the Photos app on iOS, then this is easy to disable.

On iPhone - go to the settings: "Privacy", "Photo" and turn off WhatsApp.

On Android, it’s a bit more complicated - you need to use the file manager (explorer) like ES File Explorer or Ghost Commander to go to the sdcard / WhatsApp / Media folder, then create a new file called .nomedia. All, more photos from WhatsApp in the "Gallery" will not be displayed.

How to disable group chat notifications in WhatsApp

Sometimes group chats create too much noise. Suppose you do not want to leave them, but listening to notifications after each message is also not an option. If you have an iPhone, then open a group chat, tap on a topic to open information about the group, and then click “Mute”.

In WhatsApp on Android, open a chat, press the "Menu" button, and then tap on "Mute". You can specify the time for which notifications will be turned off, or completely turn them off.

How to recover deleted messages on WhatsApp

Whatsapp create backups all messages every day at 4 a.m. The easiest way to recover deleted messages from WhatsApp is to uninstall and reinstall the application.

In the process whatsapp installation asks if you want to restore data from backup. So you can "return" the correspondence for the last week. On Android, if you are interested in earlier data, you should use a file manager (explorer) like ES File Explorer and find the sdcard / WhatsApp / Databases folder, where the instant messenger backups are stored.

Rename the file you need to msgstore.db.crypt, and then go to your smartphone’s settings, select applications, then WhatsApp and click “Clear data”. Then run the messenger - when the application offers to recover data, agree.

How to create a shortcut for chats in WhatsApp

This messenger function works only on Android. If you have chats that you have to return to daily or more often, you can save a little time by placing a shortcut to call the chat and the home screen.

To do this, press and hold on the chat that you often need, then select the line “Add shortcut for chat” in the context menu. A shortcut will appear on free space home screen. It can be moved around the screen like any other shortcut, simply by "pressing" with your finger.

How to send a private message to multiple WhatsApp contacts at once

You can save time by sending the same message to several contacts at once. However, it is not always necessary for the recipients to know that someone else has received the same message.

Newsletter in WhatsApp allows you to send the same message to multiple contacts, but for the recipient it will be private, like any other message between two users. In Android, go to the menu, then select “New Newsletter”. On the iPhone, go to the mailing lists on the Chats screen, where then click on the “New List”.

Are there programs for reading other people's posts on WhatsApp?

We will please or disappoint you, but wiretapping is possible :-). But there is one important point! In order to follow a person, you need to install a special one on his smartphone. No one will be able to read your messages remotely - the developers have reliably protected personal data and correspondence from possible hacking, so do not worry :-).

WhatsApp Spy is a paid program. Now there are two types: mSpy and FlexiSPY. Using these applications, remote monitoring of smartphones is carried out. Remember that these programs are created for good purposes, for example:

to watch over children and to warn them from trouble;
to know whether the girl you are going to make an offer is faithful to;
does the guy who you think to give heart and soul love you.

Mounted on mobile phone, which you need to monitor (you have to take someone else's smartphone for a while). The program will track all telephone activity and transfer it to a personal account. You can even follow the correspondence in real time.

Good evening, tell me what I can’t understand. I do not see a profile photo of a person (I saw it before), i.e. they blocked me accordingly. (if only there is no function in vatsap to hide the photo from a specific user-contact) But when I click on the chat with him, then it shows me ONLINE and for a long time and more than once a day. What does it mean? ↓
1. Tini 07/03/2017 at 11:55
  Are you sure that you have not been unblocked yet? Maybe the person just removed the photo. I draw this conclusion, because "Online" you could not see if you are blocked. And so it turns out that the person simply removed the photo and, when you see "online", the person is in the application. ↓

  And how did you define it. Well, if this is true, then try reinstalling Vatsap on this mobile or installing it on another phone. Reply ↓

Privacy and the ability to keep user secrets are very important properties of a good messenger. Most companies even struggle with the authorities to maintain these characteristics, as they understand their importance to users. And WhatsApp is no exception. The creators of the application are constantly working to improve privacy and security, so that everyone has the opportunity not only to keep correspondence away from prying eyes, but also to hide information about themselves from other users. Can I hide a contact in WhatsApp? What can you hide in Vatsap?

Hide WhatsApp Correspondence

The first thing that worries today's users is privacy. Nobody wants outsiders to read his correspondence with friends and relatives. And while messengers (including Vatsap) are still struggling with the requirements of governments about the disclosure of personal data, then protection against intrusions by relatives or soul mates leaves much to be desired.

Many are sure that today the easiest way to keep correspondence a secret is to not leave your phone unattended. Yes, WhatsApp developers really didn’t provide the opportunity to set an additional password for the application. On the contrary, they did everything so that the user could easily and quickly get into the messenger and start communication. So in order to protect your secrets, you can only set a password on the phone itself. But if this option does not suit you for some reason, then it already exists a large number of third-party applications that will help to “password protect” Vatsap. An example of such a program is AppLock. This is not the only such application. There are many others that can complicate outsiders access not only to Vatsap, but also to mail, sms, photos and videos.

Another option that messenger users so dream of, but which developers are not in a hurry to implement, is the ability to hide their online status, that is, the invisible mode. Here, third-party developers tried again by offering the HideStatus application. Using it, you can become invisible to your list of friends in Watsap. That is, neither friends, nor strangers will see if you are online or not.

Do not show hidden contacts

As for contacts, if you have hidden contacts on your phone, you can simply not display them in WhatsApp.

To do this, uncheck "Show hidden contacts." To do this:
1. Launch the messenger, open the “Contacts” tab and go to the “Settings” menu (using the button in the form of 3 dots).

2. In the menu that opens, find the "Contacts" submenu.

3. Uncheck the “All contacts” field.

4. Wait for the data to be updated and click OK.

After that, hidden friends should disappear from your Vatsap address book. That is, the messenger will simply stop pulling up a certain group of numbers, for example, numbers from the phone’s memory or SIM card.

If you want to know more about contact management in Stashap,.

What can be hidden in WhatsApp?

But not everything is as bad with privacy on WhatsApp as it might seem at first glance. The user can hide from those with whom he communicates in the messenger almost any information about his activity. At the same time, it is possible to hide this data both from all users and from a certain group of people (or rather, to give access to information only to the closest ones).

To adjust the privacy settings in Vatsap, you need to open the main menu and go to the "Account" submenu.

In this menu you need to select the item "Privacy".

Having done this, you will be taken to a section that consists of 2 blocks: a message settings block and a block in which you can set the visibility of personal data. Let's start with the second one. Here you can configure who will see your profile photo, read the status and receive information about the date and time of your last visit to Vatsap.

In each of the fields (photo, status and time of visit) you can choose who will get access to this information - no one, all or just a list of contacts. That is, you can easily make sure that you will use the messenger, but no one will know this, except for those to whom you directly send messages.

For example, if you do not want to show your visit time, you will also not know when other users logged in to Watsup. And if you hide the profile photo from everyone except yourself, you will not see the photos of your friends.

The same goes for the message block. Here you can, for example, disable read reports if you do not want other users to know whether you read their messages or not yet. This is a useful function, it protects against insults and showdowns on the topic "you read, but did not answer." However, by disabling reports, you yourself cannot be sure that your messages have reached the addressee.

Also in this settings block you can manage the blacklist. The users you bring there cannot call you or send messages. To add someone to the black list, just go to the “Blocked” list, click on the plus icon and choose from the list that subscriber with whom you do not want to talk anymore.

So far, these are all officially available on WhatsApp ways to keep your communications private. News and regularly updated updates show that messenger developers are struggling with vulnerabilities. So let's hope that in the near future they will get to privacy and finally please the users with something new - the topic of protecting personal information is too relevant today.
