But if you are a phone call and you do not want to be visible online, you should close the app (you can continue your conversation). In WhatsApp, if you are attempting to call Someone or you’re about to receive an incoming call, your WhatsApp status will stay online as you have the app open.Īs soon as you decide to close the app, you will not appear to be online. Whatsapp doesn’t show online when Someone’s on a WhatsApp call. If Someone is on WhatsApp Call Does it Show Online? So if you want to know if Someone is on another call on Whatsapp, since WhatsApp doesn’t say they’re online when they’re on another call, you’ll need to call them so that WhatsApp either lets you know that they’re busy or they’re on another call. There are also no third-party apps that allow people to see your WhatsApp status if you’ve hidden your last seen info. If you think Someone is on another call, but they’d hidden their last seen info, then there’s no way to know if they’re on another call without calling them because WhatsApp isn’t going to tell you when they’re online. If the person decided to show their last seen information and didn’t hide it in settings when they’re on another WhatsApp call, you won’t be able to see that they’re online it’ll only give you the last seen information. If the user is on another WhatsApp call, and you don’t want to call them, they’re you’re never going to know if they’re online or not since they’ve turned off their last seen information. The only way to know if they’re on another call is if you call them and WhatsApp tells you they’re busy or on another call. You need to remember that Whatsapp users are able to hide their last seen or online status from settings meaning that they could be online or on another call and you’d have no idea. If Someone is on a voice call, then their online status won’t be shown, but if you try to call them through WhatsApp, you’ll get the notification that the user is on another call or the user is busy.
This is all the same for Android and iPhone. If they used their native phone app to make the call and didn’t use WhatsApp, their online status won’t say online.Īs soon as the call is ended, you’ll see that their online status will say online again.
Once the call is made, and they’re both off the app, the status will change to online. To start the test, you can grab two phones and start a video call while grabbing the third phone to check the WhatsApp status of the other phones while they’re trying to make the call. If you don’t have multiple phones, you can grab a family member’s one. If you want to test this out for yourself, you have three different phones with three different sims. As soon as the call is ended, the online status for both callers will be shown, and it will say online. When you start the call, the online status will show because both callers are on the app trying to start the call but as soon as they go off the app, it’ll go away. The only case that WhatsApp will show online when Someone is on a video call is when they start to conduct the call. The same goes for you if you don’t want WhatsApp to reveal that you’ve been using the app, you need to close the app whenever you’re on a video call with Someone. If they want their online status hidden and know about this, they’d close the app. The WhatsApp online status only shows when you’re trying to use WhatsApp, so if you want to use it to know when Someone is on a video call, you won’t be able to if they’ve closed the app. The WhatsApp online status is only triggered when you’re on the app, which comes in handy whenever you want to be on call with people but don’t want anyone to know that you’re online. Once you close the application, you will be offline. But if you are on the phone and do not want to be visible online, you should close the application (you can continue your conversation). Unless you have the app open, you will not appear to be online. In WhatsApp, if you are attempting to call Someone or an incoming call, you will appear as active online while your app is open. Whatsapp doesn’t show online when Someone is on a video call.
