5 Ways to reply to WhatsApp messages without going online
1. Reply from the notification panel
If your smartphone is running on Android Nougat (7.0) / iOS 9 or higher, the easiest way to stay ‘offline’ but still reply to a message without appearing online is to reply to a conversation directly from the notification panel. To do this, just open the notification panel, when you receive a message on WhatsApp, and tap on Reply.
2. Reply from a smartwatch
If your smartwatch runs on Android Wear/Watch OS 7, then you can reply to a WhatsApp message directly from your smartwatch. (Isn’t it a Smart workaround? ?) Also, Read | Top 5 Smartwatches under Rs. 7000 in India (2020)
3. Reply in Airplane mode
4. Disable your Last Seen and Read Receipts on WhatsApp
You can also Disable your Last Seen and Read Receipts, under your WhatsApp settings. This way you can keep an eye on the messages you receive, and then reply to them later on whenever you feel like to. This way you can reply to them, but they won’t be able to find out when you saw their message. The only drawback of this method is that you also can’t see the last seen and read receipts of others as well. (A benefit comes with its own costs, right ?)
