Hey guys,

I don't know about you, but I extremely hate Whatsapp for the lack of an Appear Offline function!

I didn't know it was that easy. Apparently, turning off background data on your phone does the trick (So simple and stupid). Now that also means sacrificing emails and so on ... But its still a neat feature if you want to appear offline all of a sudden.

I know many solutions exist by rooting your phone and giving certain applications permission to use the internet, but some have said that apps that use Push cannot be blocked as such.

I am running an unrooted ICS by the way.

Cheers !
or you cut just data for whatsapp?
I am not 100 %, but last time I checked you need to root your phone to selectively cut data off individual apps, unless there's something similar in ICS I havent discovered.
If only all my friends used Kik messenger

So much better in every way, its an exact BBM clone as well - no online, last seen, or any of that nonsense

Just the S,D,R sequence.

The lack of the possibility of going offline is by far the most annoying thing in Whatsapp. I've been searching for a solution in vain. I'm considering removing it.

Rooting is the solution.
