WhatsApp is a very useful tool that now keeps us in contact with friends, relatives and colleagues at all times, allowing us to exchange content of all kinds in a very simple and fast way.

However, this comfortable platform has a dark side in the way it controls your every move. Everyone knows when you're online, everyone knows when you enter and exit the app, even your every time will be recorded in its own strip.

How can this pressure be avoided? Is there a way to hide but still use WhatsApp?

Airplane mode

This is an old hack but it always comes in handy. By activating the "Airplane mode" present on each device, you are completely detached from the connection and practically become invisible.

The trick to never appearing online at WhatsApp

What you may not know is that, even in airplane mode, you can look at the messages that have already arrived in the chat, and you can also reply. Once you exit WhatsApp and deactivate this function, the messages will be sent automatically and no one will have seen you online, not even for a second.

FlyChat

As the name implies, this app allows you to make chats fly on the screen of your mobile phone without forcing you to enter WhatsApp and consequently revealing your presence to everyone.

FlyChat works very well, especially on Android. Once installed, grant the necessary permissions and then select the application on your phone from which you want to receive notifications. Then go to settings and activate all permissions. Then exit and you're done.

Now to reply to whoever texts you you don't have to enter WhatsApp but you can reply comfortably from these bubble-shaped notifications that arrive on your screen.
