You want to be invisible for others? Here we tell you how to activate the incognito mode in WhatsApp and what it is for.
Incognito mode is a feature available in most web browsers, with the purpose of browsing the Internet without storing information about the sites you visit.
Likewise, browsing history, cookies, or information entered in forms are not saved.
This is useful for maintaining privacy on shared devices and for searching for sensitive information without leaving a trace in the browser history, but this can also be applied to WhatsApp, as we will explain below.

Incognito mode on Whats
The world’s largest instant messaging app, while it doesn’t have an incognito function like web browsers, does have some practices that allow you to maintain your privacy while using it and, at the same time, annoy anyone who tries to “stalk” you.
Features to keep a “low” profile
Hide last seen: To activate this feature, go to Settings, select Privacy, and choose who can see your last online connection (Everyone, My Contacts, or No One).
Disable read receipts: To put this feature into effect, go to Settings > Privacy and disable the Read Receipts option. This will prevent others from seeing if you have read their messages (although you will not be able to see if they have read yours either).
Hide your profile picture, status and information: Go to Settings > Privacy and adjust the visibility of your profile picture, info, and status so that they are visible only to the contacts you choose or to no one.
Use archived chat:Archive conversations you want to keep out of the main view. Long press on the chat and select Archive or Restrict Chat – which will lock it, and you can access it with the password you choose.
Block contacts:If you don’t want to receive messages from certain contacts, you can block them. Select the three dots on the top right side of the screen: Block > Add New.

Using hidden storage mode:If you want to hide received media, go to Settings > Chats and turn off Media Visibility. These options will help you maintain greater control over your privacy on WhatsApp.
So if you don’t want your contacts to know much about you, don’t forget to take these steps, which will help you maintain greater control over your privacy.
