WhatsApp is one of the most widely used social media platforms. From texting to sharing special moments through WhatsApp Status, we do a lot on this platform. However, sometimes your status might be viewed by someone you don’t want to see it. For example, you may have shared something personal, and a random contact, like a family member, checks it. If you don’t want certain people to view your private status, you can easily hide it from them. Here’s how you can do so.
