Many WhatsApp users may not be aware of this feature. They may think that while messages can be hidden on WhatsApp, names cannot be hidden. Many people, in this circumstance, turn off notifications altogether, so that both the name and the message are hidden.

When you get a message notification on WhatsApp, it is not necessary that only you pay attention to it. Because, as soon as the notification sound is heard, many times the people nearby also notice the phone. Not only this, if you are not near your phone, then someone else can also read your messages as soon as the notification comes. Because, even if the phone is locked, the messages and names are visible. Many times, even without your wish, one or two lines of your private conversation are visible to others. Therefore, to eliminate this problem of people, WhatsApp has also provided the Hide Message feature. Many people are not aware of this feature.
