WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps in the world and millions of people use it every day to communicate with their family, friends, and colleagues. However, there might be times when you need to temporarily stop using WhatsApp without turning off your internet connection on your iPhone.
Fortunately, there are a few ways to do this. The first method is to disable notifications for WhatsApp in the Settings app.
This will stop any new messages from appearing on the screen but you will still be able to access existing messages if you open the app manually. To do this, go to Settings > Notifications > WhatsApp and turn off ‘Allow Notifications’.
The second method is to switch off mobile data for WhatsApp in the Settings app. This will stop all data connection between your iPhone and the WhatsApp servers so you won’t receive any new messages until you turn it back on again. To do this, go to Settings > Mobile Data > WhatsApp and turn off ‘Mobile Data’.
The third method is to delete the WhatsApp app from your phone entirely. This will completely remove all traces of WhatsApp from your device and prevent any new messages from being sent or received until you re-install it again. To do this, long press on the icon for WhatsApp until it starts shaking and then tap on the ‘x’ icon that appears next to it.
Finally, if none of these methods work for you then there is one last option – using a VPN service to block all incoming connections from WhatsApp servers. This can be done by downloading a VPN app from the App Store and configuring it so that all connections from specific IP addresses are blocked (including those used by WhatsApp).
Conclusion:
There are several ways of stopping WhatsApp without turning off internet connection on iPhone – disabling notifications in settings, switching off mobile data for WhatsApp in settings, deleting the app entirely or using a VPN service to block incoming connections from servers.
