How to see hidden WhatsApp status?

Did you know that you can see hidden WhatsApp status? Come and we'll teach you this trick so you can use it whenever you want!

Let he who has never wanted to use WhatsApp to stalk what that contact is posting in their statuses cast the first stone!

As WhatsApp has become the main social and messaging network in Brazil, it is increasingly unusual to find someone who does not use the platform to communicate with their contacts.

And in addition to talking to whoever you want, WhatsApp also has the Status tool, where users can post photos and videos of their daily lives or other content they want to share with their contact list.

But, as you might imagine, viewing the status leaves traces. 

Just like Instagram Stories, when you view someone's Status, your name becomes part of the list of people who have seen what they posted.

But if you want a little more privacy so you can see the posts on the status of whoever you want without being noticed, know that there may be a way! And that's what we're going to talk about throughout today's text!

Here, you will discover the main techniques on how to see hidden WhatsApp status in a simple and easy way!

How does WhatsApp status work?

WhatsApp status is a tool made available within the WhatsApp application to make its users interact more with each other.

It is basically a simpler version of the stories we post on Instagram or Facebook and it is simpler because it has fewer features, for example: there are no filters to be used (only coloring) and there are not many forms of interaction.

In it, you can publish a photo, a video or simply create a message and post it, and people whose contact you have saved and who also have your contact saved will be able to see that status.

You can share your status with a specific contact and you can also choose people you don't want to see that status.

The status stays there for 24 hours or until you delete it and then it disappears automatically and your contacts can respond to that status too.

The tool was launched in Brazil in February 2017 and is not as popular as Instagram's, but it has been gaining strength every day and according to data, it is almost equaling the number of stories posted on Instagram.
