WhatsApp has become super popular and these days people are using it as an alternative to SMS. However, Unlike SMS, WhatsApp shows whenever someone is online or not. If you are Online on WhatsApp, That means anyone can send you a message and expect to get a reply from you.
However, in some situations, you may don’t want to receive messages or maybe just want to show to others that you are offline, while you are actually not! There can be many reasons why someone would like to hide that he/she is Online on WhatsApp, I’m not going to elaborate on all of those reasons.
So, let’s now jump directly into the main thing – Below you can check how you can appear offline on WhatsApp without disconnecting the internet on your Android/iPhone.

Not Recommended Method: Using Apps like GBWhatsApp
I recently Found about a something called “GBWhatsApp” It’s a modified version of WhatsApp. It lets you make yourself offline on WhatsApp. So, yeah you can use it, but .. but remember WhatsApp hates these type of WhatsApp Alternatives. They may permanently disable or terminated your WhatsApp account for using these apps.
In case you still want to use GBWhatsApp you can download it from the web. I recommend you to download GBWhatsApp Apk (it’s not available on Google Play) from a trusted site. After you download GBWhatsApp go to Privacy Settings from Options and Click on “Hide Online Status”. Now your WhatsApp Profile will be shown to others as Offline even you are online. Please Note: Since you are hiding your online status, you won’t be able to see others(your friends and contacts) online status as well.
Recommended Method: Go Offline on WhatsApp without Disconnecting Internet
Update: Just to be clear – You can’t use or see WhatsApp Messages at the same time when you will be offline if you follow this approach. You see WhatsApp is a smartphone app and just like any other modern smartphone app it runs in the background on your phone. That’s why whenever you connect your phone to the internet it consumes data in the background and shows yourself as online.
So to hide the online status on WhatsApp and still use the internet on your phone for other purposes like Facebook and YouTube, etc. For Android you can go to your phone’s Settings> Apps> Downloaded Apps>WhatsApp> Force stop WhatsApp.
And for iPhone it’s also pretty easy: Open Settings> Scroll Down and Click on WhatsApp> Now Stop “Background App Refresh” and “Mobile Data”. Doing this will stop WhatsApp from running in the background on your Android/iPhone. And now your friends won’t see you online on WhatsApp. Whenever you want to use WhatsApp again, you can open it manually and again people will see you as you are online.

Hello sagar. I just wanted to know that if I force stop my WhatsApp then will the messages sent to me stay as single tick? Cause usually the moment your WhatsApp connects to internet it shows double tick to the person who has sent you message .
Hey sagar one of my friend change his whatsapp profile picture without altering his last seen time. How it’s possible?
Great it really works
Thanks
Good 1, i like that i am also learning guitar and am a computer science student.
How to know whether a person is using gbwhtsapp or simple version
I want to off the whatsapp,when I am browerng nd doing someother thing on internet
suppose i am chatting with one guy that person only can see i me in online remaining persons show offline
is it possible
while i am in chat for other should show ony offline
while i am in chat no disabance for me
I don’t really see the point of this article. You only show as ‘online’ on whatsapp when you’re actually using it. So what good would this do? When you’re not using the app it doesn’t show you as online anyway, and it doesn’t do anything to hide your online status when you are.
I did force stop but after some hours I started receiving notifications even I didn’t open my whatsapp. So I want to ask if their is any specific time when force stop lasts? Kindly reply
Thanks!
By using the second method will it affect something else other than the online thing ?
