Depends on your reasons for showing offline. If offline is a proxy for “I am not here to check and respond to messages”, such as when you’re sleeping, quite useful. If not, and you’d prefer to be constantly offline for privacy reasons, less useful.
- livre 6y agoYou don't "show offline" in WhatsApp, either "online" appears below the contact name or nothing appears. Nothing doesn't mean offline, it means the person doesn't have WhatsApp running in the foreground, they could or could not be online (which most define as "using or not using the phone right now").
- femiagbabiaka 6y agoIt was a euphemism, but good clarification! Colloquially you can interpret the lack of online-ness as offline.
