How can I hide my online status in Yo WhatsApp?

Now that you have learned how to hide your last seen issue, here is another effective way to protect your privacy and control what you see, both online and offline. Here's how to do it:

On the same settings page, add "Who can see when I'm online" to "Recent." Simply turn on the "How long ago was it viewed" option.


Tip: However, YoWhatsApp does not have this problem and allows you to limit this function to only one page. In other words, this function is unidirectional: others cannot see your online status, but you can see the online status of others.


How to hide "recent" status in WhatsApp?

Before hiding your online status, you can easily disable your "recent" status.


  1. Step 1: First open the "I WhatsApp" application. Tap the three dots in the upper right corner of the home screen. Select "Settings" from the drop-down menu.
  2. Step 2: Then tap "Account → Privacy." Tap here to view the last viewed status.
  3. Step 3: Tap "Recent" → "None" to prevent anyone from seeing your recent online status.


Regular users may notice that your online status appears next to your friends' names. However, sometimes this status indicator disappears. As described earlier, this status display can be turned off. This is useful because, for example, there are often disputes about sending, receiving, viewing or reading messages. This feature offers effective privacy protection: it hides one's own status but allows one to see the status of others. Download the Yo WhatsApp app now and take advantage of this premium feature.
