Like Snapchat and Instagram, WhatsApp launched its status feature.
It is a temporary content that lasts for 24 hours and allows you to put photos, videos, links or even texts in the messaging section.
These contents can be seen by all your contacts. But sometimes, we don’t want some of our contacts to see them. Then discover in this content how to hide your statuses from WhatsApp contacts.
How do you know who sees your statuses?
WhatsApp statuses can normally be seen by all your contacts. However, the application allows you to decide who can see them Where not. You can even prevent all your contacts from seeing them.
Select who can see your statutes
In apps like Facebook or Instagram, you can easily control who can see your statuses.
Indeed, in these applications, you have the possibility to accept whoever you want as friends or not. In addition, if your account is private, no one can access your content without your permission. But this control is a bit more complicated in WhatsApp.
In fact, once someone has your phone number, even if you’re not really in touch anymore, they can still see your statuses unless you prevent them.
To select who can see or who can’t see your statuses, you can configure it from the app settings. The app display is different on iPhone and Android.
