• Hide Last Seen via Settings > Privacy > Last seen; choose "Nobody" or "My contacts except…" for control.
• Conceal Online status by setting it to "Same as last seen" in Settings > Privacy > Last seen and online.
• Use "My contacts except…" to selectively hide status from specific individuals while remaining visible to others.
• Turn off Read Receipts (blue ticks) in Settings > Privacy to prevent others from knowing you've read messages.
• Remember, hiding your status means you won't see others' last seen or online status due to WhatsApp's reciprocal privacy.
