This is one of the most frequent questions our readers ask us related to the image states of WhatsApp. And is that social networks in general and messaging services, such as WhatsApp, lend a lot to suspicion.
We often intend to follow up on what someone publicly shares on the Internet but at the same time we want to hide the interest we have in it, especially the person being watched.
The states of photos and videos of WhatsApp are, in many occasions, a good way to find out about the life of those who publish them. If that person is active with these states, it is easy for him to publish even more than one journal, with which he can provide information on his appearance, his activities, where he is, with whom he frequents, etc.
But the question is, how to find out all those details of your life without you knowing that we are seeing them .
How we check who sees our states
As we know, if we publish one of those states on WhatsApp that only last 24 hours, we can return to it before it disappears to see who has seen it.
To check who has seen our state we just have to open it and click on the small lower icon with an eye shape.
In the drop-down list we will see all our contacts who have entered to see our state.
The interest of many people is that they want to see someone's status without appearing on that list .
See the states without being informed
From the same WhatsApp application we can make it appear in the list of people who have read a state.
To do this, we must deactivate the reading confirmation in our privacy optionsbefore opening the state we want to see incognito.
We will find it in WhatsApp Settings> Account> Privacy .
As simple as that. If we inactivate it, we will not appear in the list of those who read the states.
But keep in mind that inactivating this option also implies giving up the double blue mark that indicates in our individual chats whether a message has been read or not. Both in our messages and in those of others.
So if we only want to momentarily hide the vision of a state, we should go to that privacy function and inactivate it. We can activate it later and even return to see the state after activating it, because once seen for the first time without the confirmation of reading, it will no longer appear as read even if we see it more times.
OJO !, the latter is no longer valid for Android phones or for iPhone . For a while it was like that only for Android.
Application to see states without appearing as read
If the possibility of seeing states in a disguised way is something we often do, maybe the option to remove the reading confirmation does not convince us, if we do not want to renounce it in the chat rooms.
We can then use an application that allows you to see them and even save them on your phone to see them even if they disappear later.
The application is Story Saver for Whatsapp is available in the official store for Android .
If we access Recent Stories we will see the status of our contacts, they will not receive the confirmation of having seen them and we will be able to download them in the memory of our phone in case we want to see them later.
