Below we teach you how to hide the “you are typing” in WhatsApp so that no one can see you when you are writing a message in a group. And WhatsApp groups have become a whole freak, especially among family and friends, even in work environments, since they bring together several users around a theme or purpose, which can be truly varied. Therefore, if you use WhatsApp groups a lot and you don't want to appear under the group name when you're composing a message with the typical “X is writing”, follow our step-by-step guide to hide yourself from other users of WhatsApp.
Hide “you are writing” on WhatsApp

There are two methods to hide the “you are writing” message on WhatsApp, one using a small trick with your own mobile and another through a free app from third parties. We tell you how to hide on WhatsApp while you write using both methods.
How to hide “you are typing” with your mobile
If you prefer to resort to a little trick with your mobile so as not to have to download any extra app, you can use the always useful method of airplane mode. As its name indicates, Airplane mode is especially suitable for activating it on commercial flights and not having to turn off your phone. This mode disconnects all incoming and outgoing connections of the terminal, whether calls or the internet connection, so you can use it to hide when you write in a WhatsApp group. Follow the steps below:
- Access WhatsApp and enter the chat of the group in which you want to write.
- Open the top menu of mobile shortcuts by sliding your finger from the top of the screen and activate the airplane mode through its icon.
- Return to WhatsApp, write the message and send it.
- Open the top menu of mobile shortcuts again and disconnect the airplane mode.
- When the mobile has an internet connection again (either through mobile data or Wi-Fi), WhatsApp will go online and the message will be sent.
This is how you will have written the message without appearing to the others in the group while you were writing the message.
How to hide “you are typing” with the Flychat app
On the other hand, if you want to try the option of hiding yourself through an app, we recommend the application Flychat, an app available for mobile phones Android totally free designed so that no WhatsApp contact see you are online. So much so, that it hides the “Online” status and the “You are writing” message through a floating window so you can use it as a switch.
The problem is that when you activate the Flychat app cannot send or listen to voice memos, images also do not work correctly and text messages they may not always arrive. Additionally, you will appear offline for all users and you won't be able to choose which users you want to see you and which ones you don't.
