To appear online on WhatsApp but not have others see you as online, you can use 'Airplane Mode.' Open WhatsApp while offline, read or type your message, close the app completely, then turn off Airplane Mode. Your actions will sync, but you won't appear online. Another strategy is to disable 'Last Seen' under Settings > Account > Privacy. These methods offer more control over your online status.
