There are quick ways to disable your online status in WhatsApp if you're hoping to avoid unwanted attention.
  • You can hide online status on WhatsApp — known as Last Seen — in your Privacy settings. 
  • Choose whether only your contacts or nobody should see your Last Seen status.
  • You can also choose to exclude certain people from seeing your Last Seen status.

If you use WhatsApp regularly, chances are you've spotted the login status next to the name of some of your contacts. 

Though WhatsApp makes your online status visible to everyone by default, you can easily change it.
