It is not necessary to put the mobile in airplane mode to turn off WhatsApp. Here we tell you how to do it without having to disable the internet.
WhatsApp has become one of the most used instant messaging applications in the world, allowing its users to send text messages, photos, videos, voice notes, make video calls and exchange stickers. However, sometimes we want to disconnect from the Meta platform for a while without having to disable the internet on our phone. Fortunately, there is a trick that will help us achieve this without having to install strange apps. In the following paragraphs, we will tell you how you can do it.
When users get bored with WhatsApp, most resort to activating airplane mode. However, this option is not the most suitable as it completely disables the internet of the phone, which means that you cannot use any other application to watch videos or listen to music online.
Fortunately, there is an easy way to disconnect WhatsApp without having to turn off Wi-Fi or disable mobile data, allowing us to continue using other applications on our smartphone. The best thing is that it does not require the installation of third-party applications that could put the information on our device at risk. This method is completely safe and is popular on social media.

- Go into the settings of your Android smartphone.
- Select the option that says “Applications.”
- Find the WhatsApp app and select it.
- Then a new window will open with the details of the application; you must click the button that says Stop or Force Stop.
- A notice will appear indicating that WhatsApp will stop working if you activate Force Stop, so you have to confirm the action.
- Then click accept and you will stop receiving messages and calls on WhatsApp. Once you complete the process to temporarily turn WhatsApp off, the app will be inactive until you decide to turn it back on. But best of all, you won’t lose Internet access on your smartphone to use other apps.
How to know if they opened their WhatsApp account on another phone?
Even though this feature was created with the user in mind, some people may use it to listen to other people’s chats. It is only necessary to take the victim’s cell phone and, in a matter of seconds, log in to a computer that does not belong to him. This way, they will be able to see your messages, although there is a way to know if they have.
- Enter WhatsApp and press the icon of three ellipsis.
- Choose the Paired Devices option.
- A list of devices (tablets, computers, and smartphones) you’re signed in to will appear.
- If you see a device you don’t recognize, someone may have stolen your phone and used it to sign in to your account on another phone.
- Just tap on it and sign out. In this way, the account will be closed on that strange computer.
