This is how you decide who can see your posts

Privacy is an important fundamental right, especially in social media. That’s why we explain in today’s “how to” how you can hide your WhatsApp status – not in principle, but specifically from individual friends or relatives.

Who made it into your phone book is important – no matter what level. Our partners as well as our friends, relatives and sometimes even work colleagues can be found in the address lists of our smartphones.

In fact, inclusion in our digital address book is often equivalent to a WhatsApp chat. Whatsapp is coming according to stats to more than two billion users worldwide. In Germany, the Meta subsidiary achieves a penetration of at least 83.6 percent.

That’s why we’ve written a detailed step-by-step guide for you. In “How to” we explain in detail how you can hide your WhatsApp status – specifically from individual people in your WhatsApp circle of acquaintances.

Finally, select all contacts from whom you want to hide your WhatsApp status by ticking them. Once you’re done, close the process with “Ready” away.

Over time, more and more open windows accumulate in your smartphone browser. This is not only confusing, but also quite annoying at some point. That’s why we wrote you a step-by-step guide on how to close all your Safari tabs on iPhone at once. That’s how it’s done.
