Tricks: The WhatsApp trick to know which contacts are online and when they connect
We've all wanted to be invisible at one time, even fantasizing about having a cape like Harry Potter's or becoming HG Wells's Invisible Man.
The arrival of the Internet and hyperconnection has caused the longing for this superhuman power to become something as simple as wanting to
prevent others from knowing the time at which we stop looking at the mobile
or if we are looking at it at that moment.
Applications like
have given the concept of privacy a new dimension.
We have standardized that the people with whom we interact such as family, partner, friends, co-workers and even the boss, know the exact hour and minute in which
we stop looking at the messaging network.
The control to which we submit and the one we exercise unconsciously has grown exponentially, becoming the center of many discussions as a couple or between groups of friends.
There is a way to make yourself invisible, you will not need sunglasses, or a raincoat, or bandages, the trick only serves to
avoid all those pesky ones you have on WhatsApp.
Also, it works for both Android and iPhone.
Do you want more advantages?
You will not need any third-party application
that, in addition to hiding the track by location, will probably sell your personal data.
The trick in question serves to hide if you are online, the last connection time and everything you have uploaded to the
statuses
.
You are probably familiar with the privacy settings that hide your personal information from people who are no longer in your mobile contacts.
The surprising thing is that these options can also be extended to all contacts.
It is enough to access the Settings menu in WhatsApp, which in Android appears by pressing the three vertical dots in the upper right area and in iOS it is accessed directly by pressing the gear that appears in the lower right.
Then select account and Privacy.
From this menu select the following in the sections that we indicate below.
Under Last Time, select Nobody.
In profile photo select Nobody.
In info also select Nobody.
In Status select Only share with and do not select anyone, when you click accept the application will show No contact selected.
Finally, turn off read receipts.
If you followed all the steps, congratulations, you are already
invisible on WhatsApp
.
Leave groups without anyone noticing
WhatsApp groups are a good tool for keeping in touch with former classmates or co-workers, or for parents to inform each other about homework and school activities, but they can be a double-edged sword.
What begins as the '68 Student Meeting can end in a non-stop of memes, photos of Tweety wishing you good morning and ultimately, the mobile vibrating every two minutes 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
If you have already decided that this group does not bring you anything and you want to leave but you fear being exposed by that notification of Mr. X left the group, watch out for the following.
The first thing you have to do is open the chat for the group in question, find the group settings and select Group Info and Mute for a year.
Then, to delete the files from the group and free up part of the mobile's memory, from settings select Group files, point to everything and delete them by pressing the trash.
To avoid the burden of conscience of having more and more unread messages (in the case of being someone extremely orderly) it is enough to archive the group.
As soon as you open WhatsApp, from the menu with all conversations, press and hold the group you want to archive and press the icon with a folder that has a downward arrow drawn.
This way
you will stop seeing the group chat itself
in the main chats menu and you will avoid receiving any notification from it.
