Hide Online Status in GB WhatsApp Pro v18.80
Browse chats and reply to messages without the "online" tag ever appearing under your name.
How it works
What Hide Online Status actually does
Stock WhatsApp shows you as "online" the second the app opens. GB WhatsApp Pro shuts that signal off completely. You can scroll through chats, reply to anyone, take a voice call — and nobody sees you go active. Works inside personal chats and inside groups. Pair it with Freeze Last Seen for a complete offline disguise.

How to enable Hide Online Status
4 steps, ~2 minutes. Settings persist across app restarts and updates.
-
Install GB WhatsApp Pro v18.80
If you haven't already, download the latest GB WhatsApp Pro APK from gbwhatts.pro and install it over the existing WhatsApp or as a fresh install. Hide Online Status ships built-in — no extra modules or plug-ins.
-
Open the GBSettings menu
Open the app, tap the three-dot menu in the top right, pick GBSettings. Every GB WhatsApp Pro-specific feature lives under this menu — separate from the stock WhatsApp Settings.
-
Navigate to the Privacy section
Inside GBSettings, tap Privacy. Hide Online Status is one of the toggles in that panel. Tap to open its sub-screen.
-
Enable Hide Online Status
Flip the top toggle to ON. Most settings take effect immediately; a few (like custom themes or fonts) ask you to restart the app — accept the prompt and GB WhatsApp Pro reopens with the change applied.
