This is the easiest option on the list. The best part: you might already be familiar with it. All you have to do is activate airplane mode on an Android phone or switch to flight mode on iPhone before reading a Whatsapp message and you’re good to go. Here are the step-by-step instructions:
1. On your home screen, swipe down from the top.
