How to See WA Status without Being Known, Easily and Without Additional Applications

Want to see someone's WhatsApp (WA) status or story? Try this way of seeing WA status without the owner's knowledge. This helps us avoid embarrassment but also satisfies our curiosity about the WA status of whoever we want. WhatsApp status is a function for sharing stories in the form of videos, photos or text with friends or audiences that make up one contact, such as Instagram friends. 

This time, DailySocial.id will share a number of ways to see WA status without the status owner knowing.

Set Privacy Settings

The easiest way to see WA status without being noticed is to change WhatsApp privacy settings.

You can do this by following the steps below:

1. Open the WhatsApp settings page by selecting the dot icon in the upper right corner. Then select the setting option. 

2. Select Account. From the settings menu, select the Account menu to proceed to the next step to see WA status secretly.

3. Go to the "Privacy" menu. Then select the Privacy option.

4. Disable the red receipt feature. And seeing WA status without being caught was successful. If we choose this method, we will not be able to find out who is tracking the WA status.

If you want it to appear again, go back to WhatsApp settings and check the read receipt box again. 

Open File Manager

One way to view WA stories without the owner's knowledge is to view them in the smartphone's file manager. Then follow the steps below:

1. Find the WhatsApp folder.

2. Select a media folder. 

3. Click Settings or on the three dots in the upper right corner of the screen.

4. Select Show Hidden Files

5. Enter the Status folder which contains other people's photo and video files that they have uploaded using the WA Status feature.

In this way you can see pictures and videos uploaded by someone on WA without being caught. However, with this method, you can only view video files and photos uploaded by someone, not statuses made in text format.

In addition, all photo and video files sent by your WA contacts will be mixed in this status folder. This will make it difficult for you to find out who uploaded the pictures and videos. 

Take a peek from the Statuses Folder

Usually WA will download picture mode automatically, especially when the internet connection is smooth. This can be used to see WA status without being noticed. However, this method can only be used by Android users, namely:

1. Open the WhatsApp application then enter the Status section. Stay on this page for a few seconds to allow the system to load the photo data. 

2. Then open the file manager application. Before doing this, make sure you have enabled the "Show hidden files" option. This method is different for each smartphone brand.

3. If so, select "Internal Storage", then "WhatsApp", select "Media" and finally "Status".

Here you can see the status of the photo you want. 

3DTouch function

While the ability to see WA status without being noticed beforehand is only for Android users, this 3D Touch feature can only be used by iOS users. However, this method only allows one to view multiple parts of one account at a time.

So if you want to see a second time, you can only see the status of the oldest. Video status can only be viewed once. You can only see the thumbnails by looking back. 

1. Enable the 3D Touch feature on iPhone by going to the Settings menu and clicking Accessibility, then Touch.

2. After entering the touch menu, select 3D & Haptic Touch. Slide the toggle until it is green.

3. Then open the WhatsApp application and select Status.

4. Press and hold the status you want to view. 

That's the way you can try to see WA status without getting caught. Easy to follow right? We hope this method can help relieve your curiosity.
