Step 1: Turn Off Read Receipts
First things first, you’ll need to disable the read receipts feature on WhatsApp. This way, when you view someone’s story, they won’t know that you’ve seen it. Follow these simple steps:
- Open WhatsApp on your phone and go to “Settings”.
- Select “Account” and then tap on “Privacy”.
- Scroll down and find the “Read Receipts” option.
- Toggle the switch to turn it off.
Step 2: Enable Airplane Mode
The next step is to enable Airplane Mode on your device. This will prevent WhatsApp from sending notifications when you view a story. Here’s what you need to do:
- Swipe down from the top of your screen to access the quick settings panel.
- Tap the Airplane Mode icon to activate it. Alternatively, you can go to your phone’s settings and enable Airplane Mode from there.
Step 3: Open WhatsApp and View the Story
Once Airplane Mode is turned on, open WhatsApp and access the story you want to view without being seen. Remember, the story should load without any notifications being sent to the person who posted it.
Step 4: Close WhatsApp and Disable Airplane Mode
After you’ve viewed the story, you can close WhatsApp and disable Airplane Mode to resume your normal phone usage. Here’s how to do it:
- Swipe down from the top of your screen to access the quick settings panel.
- Tap the Airplane Mode icon again to deactivate it. Alternatively, you can go to your phone’s settings and disable Airplane Mode from there.
That’s it! You have successfully viewed a WhatsApp story without being seen. Remember to follow these steps each time you want to view someone’s story in stealth mode.
Note that while this method prevents others from knowing that you’ve viewed their story, it doesn’t allow you to reply or react to it anonymously. If you interact with the story, the person who posted it will still be able to see your response.
Now you can enjoy watching WhatsApp stories without the fear of being seen. Keep in mind that privacy is important, and it’s always good to respect other people’s boundaries. Happy browsing!
