If you turn on airplane mode while using WhatsApp, you can read all your messages on your mobile device without others seeing you as “online” or updating your “last seen” status.

This also prevents the blue tick marks from appearing. However, it’s important to note that once you turn off airplane mode and connect to the internet, your visibility status will be updated again.

Turn off Force Stop

Force Stop is a feature on mobile phones that allows you to forcefully stop an app from running in the background.

You can turn off force stop on WhatsApp as well.

Step 1:

Tap the “WhatsApp” icon on your mobile home screen for 2 seconds.
