Faq's on WhatsApp Updates 1)How to hide your “Last Seen” on Whatsapp? Ans)Step 1. Open WhatsApp on your iPhone or Android. Step 2. Go to your WhatsApp settings. On iPhone, tap Settings – the gear icon – in the bottom right corner. On Android, tap the More icon – the three vertical dots – in the top right corner, and then select Settings in the menu. Step 3. In Settings, tap Account. Step 4. On the Account page, tap Privacy. Step 5. Tap on the “Last Seen” option to change your online status. Step 6. There are two options to hide the online or Last Seen status on your WhatsApp account — you can choose for only My Contacts to see your status or for Nobody to see your status. After saving your settings to “Nobody” in the Last Seen section, you can rest assured that nobody would be able to check your Last Seen time stamp. 2)How To Be Online on Whatsapp Without Being Visible to Your Contacts? Ans)There are no internal WhatsApp settings that can assist you in remaining invisible when online to the rest of your contacts. In order to stay online without being visible, you will have to use certain third-party apps such as “WA Bubble for Chat.” You can visit Play Store on your Android device or App Store if you are iOS to download the “WA Bubble for Chat” app. Once downloaded, you can start using the app for chatting without opening WhatsApp. All your WhatsApp will be visible in different bubbles and you can start chatting in any particular bubble without actually opening WhatsApp. This way you actually never technically are online and thus, remain invisible to the rest of your contacts. 3)What is the Companion mode for whatsapp? Ans)Currently, WhatsApp doesn’t allow its users to log in with their WhatsApp accounts on more than one smartphone. This is most likely going to change in 2023 with the instant messaging app introducing a new “Companion Mode.” Using this feature, users will be able to link their WhatsApp accounts or the same mobile number on different smartphones. 4)What is the View Once Text feature in WhatsApp ? Ans)The View Once Text, as the same clearly suggests, is a feature that will delete messages sent once the recipient opens and reads them once. The app already has a view once photo feature that deletes photos shared once seen. The View once text could be extremely useful when you are sharing information that you do not want the recipient of your message to save on their device.
