Here are the steps:

• Open the WhatsApp application.
• Then, click the three-dot icon at the top right, then select the available "Settings" option.
• After that, select the “Account” option, then press the “Privacy” option.
• Disable “Read Reports” or “Read Receipts”.

Open File Manager

The second way is to view it in the smartphone's File Manager. You can find WA status in the form of photo and video files in hidden folders.

Here are the steps:

• Look for the WhatsApp folder in File Manager.
• Select the “Media” folder.
• Then, press the “Settings” option or the three dots available in the top right corner of the screen.
• Select “Show Hidden Files”.
• Enter the "Statuses" folder which contains other people's photo and video files uploaded via the WA status feature.

In this way, you can view photos and videos uploaded to WA status without being noticed. However, this method can only view video and photo files, not status in text form.

Apart from that, all the photo and video files uploaded by your WA contacts will be mixed up, so you have to find out who the identity of the uploader is.

Using Additional Applications

The next way is to use an application. The application that you can use to view this status is GB WhatsApp. 

GB WhatsApp is a WhatsApp application that has been modified by a third party and not officially developed by WhatsApp.

Here are the steps to use GB WhatsApp:

• Install the GB WhatsApp application on your smartphone.
• Open GB WhatsApp.
• Press the three dot icon in the top right corner and select “GB Settings”.
• Select the “Privacy and Security” option.
• Enable the “Hide View Status” toggle.

Once finished, you can see the WA status of your friends and crushes without getting caught. You can't download it on Google Play.

Utilize the 3D Touch Feature

If you are user iPhones, you can use the 3D Touch feature to view WA statuses without the status maker knowing. However, this method can only be used to peek at the latest status of each account.

Here are the steps:

• Open the “Settings” menu.
• Select “Accessibility” then select “Touch”.
• Once logged in, select “3D and Haptic Touch” and slide the toggle until it turns green.
• Open WhatsApp and select “Status”.
• Press and hold the status you want to view without opening it all the way.

• Then, turn off the internet connection via the menu provided.
• Now, you can see the desired status.
• When finished, close the tab and delete the last hour of browsing data so that the data cannot be read on the server.
