Steps to turn off read receipts to secretly view WhatsApp Status
One of the easiest ways to anonymously view a WhatsApp Status without letting the other person know is by turning off your “Read Receipts.” However, remember to keep the feature turned off for the next 24 hours or until the status is already expired. If you think you can secretly view the status and turn it back on, you can’t be more wrong. If you turn on the read receipts before the status is deleted or expires, they will see your name in the status views. Besides this little nitty-gritty, if you go the official way there is a big disadvantage. You also can’t know the views on your own status. Another disadvantage is that it disables the blue ticks feature — formerly called the read receipt indicators in the app’s chat rooms.
Step to secretly view WhatsApp Status in the Incognito Mode
However, don’t try it on your smartphone even if you are offline. Even when you have turned off your mobile data, WhatsApp saves your activity data locally and updates whenever the internet connection resumes in your smartphone. Hey, it’s smarter than we are!
Steps to view & download WhatsApp status via File Manager
While the above two methods are great to simply view the WhatsApp status, this one allows you to not only see the status secretly but also allows you to download its content including photos and videos without officially seeing the status. The messaging app at times may download videos and images posted on the WhatsApp Status by any of your contacts in your phone even before you have viewed them. You can also follow the given steps to access these files: In one of its biggest perks, using the file manager you can choose to simply view the WhatsApp Statuses and also to download and save them for longer.
