    • 1. Tap the three dots menu in the upper right corner
    • 2. Open WhatsApp Settings
    • 3. In WhatsApp Settings, click ‘Privacy’
    • 4. Tap ‘Last seen and online’ under Privacy options
    • 5. Under ‘Last seen and online,’ select ‘Nobody’
    • 6. Now, choose ‘Same as last seen’ for the online option

My best friend texted me in a hurry, saying,

‘Hey, how to hide online and last seen on WhatsApp?’

When I asked, ‘Is everything alright? And why would you want to hide online and last seen from others?’ he said, that he just ‘wants to avoid his annoying girlfriend.’ His words, not mine! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Well, I had a few options in mind, like installing GB WhatsApp. But since it’s a third-party app and can also get you blocked from WhatsApp, it is totally unsafe, we do not recommend it.

People often mind when I’m online and don’t respond to their texts. Where I live, boundaries are rarely something that’s part of the culture. I’m not even kidding. They often start texting you whenever they see you online, and when you don’t respond immediately, it’s a big deal for them.

To make things easy, hiding the last seen helped, but hiding online and the last seen wasn’t available on WhatsApp yet.

Then I remembered, that WhatsApp now officially lets you hide ‘online’ and ‘seen’ from other people in WhatsApp. So, instead of installing GB WhatsApp to hide ‘Online and last seen,’ which can compromise your data, do it from the built-in feature.

Follow these simple steps to hide WhatsApp online and last seen:

These are the simple steps for how to hide online status in WhatsApp guide:

1. Tap the three dots menu in the upper right corner

how to hide online status in whatsapp step 1

Open WhatsApp and find and tap the three dots menu from the top right corner of the app.

2. Open WhatsApp Settings

Open Settings in WhatsApp from the top right three dots menu

From the menu, tap Settings and it’ll take you to the WhatsApp settings page.

3. In WhatsApp Settings, click ‘Privacy’

Find and select Privacy in WhatsApp Settings

Find and tap ‘Privacy’ in WhatsApp Settings to explore further options.

4. Tap ‘Last seen and online’ under Privacy options

Under Privacy, select 'Last seen and online' in Settings

Under ‘Who can see my personal info’ tap ‘Last seen and online.’

5. Under ‘Last seen and online,’ select ‘Nobody’

In this step, select 'Nobody' under privacy settings, in hiding your online status in WhatsApp

To hide online and last seen on WhatsApp, choose the desired settings as per your needs. My choice was that nobody could see when I was online or last seen on WhatsApp, that’s why I selected ‘Nobody.’

6. Now, choose ‘Same as last seen’ for the online option

Now choose ‘Same as last seen’ in ‘Who can see when I’m online.’ You can also hide your online and last seen from a single person, such as your girlfriend, boyfriend, friends, family, or even colleagues.


Note: If you hide your last seen and online status, you can’t see other people’s last seen and online.

Follow this guide to hide your online and last-seen status in WhatsApp from others.
