Disable Read Receipts: Maintain Anonymity – Open WhatsApp, go to Settings > Privacy, and toggle off Read Receipts to prevent others from knowing you've viewed their status.
Use Airplane Mode: Temporary Offline Viewing – Let statuses load, enable Airplane mode, view the desired status, and close WhatsApp before disabling Airplane mode to avoid detection.
Utilize File Manager (Android Only): Access Hidden Statuses – In your phone's File Manager, navigate to Internal Storage > WhatsApp > Media > .Statuses to view statuses without opening WhatsApp.
Use WhatsApp Web: Browser-Based Viewing – Open WhatsApp Web on your computer and view statuses without triggering read receipts.
Third-Party Apps: Proceed with Caution – Some apps claim to allow anonymous status viewing, but use them cautiously due to potential privacy risks.
