WhatsApp privacy: Here is how you can secretly view anyone’s status update

July 28, 2020 by Arhama Altaf

The global messaging app, WhatsApp privacy shows a feature that will let you secretly view someone’s status without letting them know about it.

WhatsApp’s Status privacy trick is one of the most loved tricks of this application.

The first thing you need to know is about two WhatsApp features that are involved here- Read receipts and Status.

Just to refresh, Read receipts are for those blue ticks that you see when your message has been read by the recipient on WhatsApp. Enabling the Read receipts will let you know whether your message has been read or not. If you disable the feature, you will only see double tick which could mean the message has delivered but may not be read the recipient.

However, coming to the status, WhatsApp Status allows you to share text, photos, videos and animated GIFs that disappear after 24 hours. Your Status will be seen by your saved contacts only. WhatsApp Status also allows you to hide your posts from specific people if you want.

WhatsApp recently released its v2.20.196.8 beta for Android, which reportedly brings a highly anticipated feature.

According to a report by WABetaInfo WhatsApp v2.20.196.8 beta for Android consists code for the heavily rumoured multiple device feature.

The new feature will allow WhatsApp users to log in to multiple devices, without having to log out from the previous device. At the time of launch, WhatsApp will allow users to sign in to four devices to sync at once.

The feature will be made accessible through the three dots icon found on the top right corner of the app.

When is WhatsApp Multi-device feature coming?

The ‘Linked Devices’ feature is currently under development and is not live for anyone. This means even if you have the latest beta version of the app installed on your smartphone you will not be able to use the feature.

For now there is no guarantee when the company will launch the feature. It might be in a few days or months.

According to an earlier report, the WhatsApp Web screen was showing the string “Use WhatsApp on other devices” and apart from this, if you were to install a fresh copy of WhatsApp, a new loading screen would appear asking users to connect to a Wi-Fi network before proceeding to the setup process. If the user were to ignore the prompt, the app shows a message stating, “Using mobile data may be slow and may use a large amount of your data plan.”
