YOGYAKARTA - WhatsApp Story is a feature that users usually use to share their daily activities with the people they are connected to.

Usually, WhatsApp users don't just share photos or videos on their WhatsApp Stories, but certain links, to product promotions for users who trade online.

For some users, sharing daily activities on WhatsApp Stories will be more convenient than making posts on other social media accounts such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

The reason is, only the people whose contacts you save can see the status you created. This makes your privacy more secure because it cannot be seen by just anyone.

When sharing a WhatsApp Story, users can see the people who have watched the Story you created. Likewise when you see the status of other people.

However, there are ways you can use to keep people in your contacts from knowing that you've seen the status they created. The method is also quite easy, and has been summarized by the VOI team below.

How to View Other People's WhatsApp Stories Without Knowing

To remove your name from the list of people who saw the status of your friends, users can enter the WhatsApp application on the user's device, then select the three-dot icon in the upper right corner.

Next, a number of menus will appear that you can choose from. Click the Settings menu or Settings to make your name not included in the list of people who see the status of other people in your contacts.

After that, select the Account menu, then select Privacy. Users can scroll down the menu until they find the Read Receipts menu, and click the toggle button next to it to disable the menu.

If the toggle button is white, then the Read Receipts menu has been successfully deactivated, so your name will not appear in the list of people who have viewed certain statuses when you view other people's stories.

That way, every time you view a WhatsApp Story created by people in your contacts, that person will not know that you have seen the story.

However, the same thing happens with you. If you disable Read Receipts, you will also not be able to see the list of people who have viewed the WhatsApp Story you created.

That's the way you can see other people's WhatsApp Stories in your contacts without getting caught. This can make you more comfortable using the WhatsApp application on your device.
