Finally, the major drawback with this messaging platform is the loss of confidentiality. Obviously, if you activate all the functions offered, you will not be able to protect your privacy and your contacts will be able to follow all your actions to the letter. But, with a little cunning and skill, you can put limits on it, by learning to manipulate the parameters well. You probably already know how to do a few maneuvers to hide your last connection, your status or even filter messages.

But there is an action that bothers many users: even before sending a message to a contact in private or to a group, the application “betrays” you immediately by telling everyone that you are to write a message. The good news is that there is a way to hide this famous action. From now on, thanks to this little trick, the “writing” signal will stop appearing to your contacts.

Option 1: with airplane mode

As you already know, using this mode, you can disconnect all incoming and outgoing networks from your mobile, as well as voice calls, SMS and even Internet connection. Precisely, the Airplane mode will also be very useful for you to write your messages without anyone knowing.

Here are the steps to follow:

  • Open WhatsApp, enter the chat where you will write.
  • Activate airplane mode.
  • Go back to WhatsApp and in the chat page write your message and send it.
  • Now re-enable your network again by disabling Airplane mode.

    There you go, neither seen nor known! In this way, your Smartphone will reconnect to the network, and WhatsApp will send your previously written message to your contact without him having had the opportunity to see that you were writing a message at that precise moment.

    Option 2: with the “Flychat” application

    For those who don’t know it, this application allows you to use WhatsApp while maintaining your privacy. Indeed, it prevents your contacts from seeing that you are online. You can therefore easily write your messages in real time without anyone suspecting it.
