The most popular mobile messenger, WhatsApp, is preparing another function requested by its more than 2,000 million users: the so-called “Hidden mode”. This novelty will serve for those users who use the service and want to go unnoticed among their contacts at all times.
Currently, the messaging app allows you to hide the last connection time, but not the “online” registration.and the latter is what WhatsApp will allow to hide even in the not too distant future, as published WABetaInfothe portal who has the task of revealing the news of the messenger.
Apparently and according to the leak, the WhatsApp user will be able to adjust the parameter from the application settings.
However, the novelty works a little differently than expected from the start. There will not be an option that will allow us to directly hide our online status in WhatsApp, but the option will depend on another that will appear just above it.

There will be two options for this mode that will allow you to hide if you are online on WhatsApp, one is called “all” and the other “like the last seen”.
To go unnoticed, you will have to select the last option, but you can also do it you will have to mark that the last connection was not shown. That is, you should put “none” in the “last time” option and then put “as last time” in the “who can see you online” section.
Therefore, the stealth mode will be more or less restrictive depending on what is selected in the options menu of this new feature.
This means that you will be able to hide your online status for all contacts or just for some or only for all of your contacts. This stealth mode of WhatsApp will be in settings / account / privacy or in settings / account / privacy in the case of WhatsApp for Android.
The new privacy setting will be available on WhatsApp for Android, for iOS and also on WhatsApp Web and Desktop. Unfortunately, the ability to hide WhatsApp’s online registration is under development and may still take a long time.
WhatsApp, on the other hand, works simultaneously with the possibility of receiving personalized three-dimensional (3D) avatars. This alternate version of the user’s face, usable in video calls, will also serve as a sticker format both in conversations with other community members and in group chats on Android devices.
Rightly WABetaInfo It was he who leaked that the company is working to include these avatars in the messenger, as they currently have Instagram and Facebook Messenger, as part of an alternate set of Memoji / Birmoji (custom avatars with human faces) that would begin to develop into March.

This option is part of the latest update for Android 2.22.15.5, developed via the Google Play Beta program.
As they shared on this messenger site, the application will provide users with a new option within the video call interface that will allow them to change their real image to that of an avatar. Currently, the Switch to Avatar button remains in development and is not yet responsive when pressed.
