To appear offline on WhatsApp while online, go to Settings > Account > Privacy, and change your Last Seen status to 'Nobody.' You can also disable read receipts and avoid opening the app directly to bypass immediate notifications. Utilising Airplane Mode can help read messages without appearing online, but the sender may not get an instant reply. This approach helps maintain privacy and control over your online presence.
