WhatsApp users can now send and receive messages even without an internet connection. Meta has introduced a proxy feature that allows users to stay connected even when Wi-Fi or mobile data is unavailable. This new method ensures seamless communication without relying on traditional internet services.
How WhatsApp Works Without Internet
To use WhatsApp offline, you need to enable the proxy feature. This feature connects the app to a proxy network, allowing users to send messages without an active internet connection. The best part? Even while using a proxy, end-to-end encryption remains intact, ensuring security and privacy.
Steps to Enable the Proxy Feature on WhatsApp:
- Open WhatsApp on your smartphone.
- Tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner.
- Go to Settings > Storage & Data.
- Select the Proxy option and enter a trusted proxy address.
- Once the connection is successful, a green dot will appear.
After this, you can continue sending and receiving messages, even if your mobile data or Wi-Fi is turned off.
WhatsApp Web Works Without Internet Too!
Another way to use WhatsApp without an active internet connection on your phone is through WhatsApp Web. Once you’ve scanned the QR code on your laptop or desktop, WhatsApp will continue running even if your phone’s internet is turned off. This allows users to stay connected via their PC.
What to Do If Messages or Calls Stop Working?
If WhatsApp messages or calls stop working while using the proxy feature, you may need to update the proxy address:
- Remove the old proxy address by long-pressing it.
- Enter a new trusted proxy address and reconnect.
It is important to use a reliable proxy to maintain a secure and uninterrupted WhatsApp experience.
Is It Safe to Use a Proxy on WhatsApp?
Yes, WhatsApp ensures that messages sent through a proxy remain end-to-end encrypted, just like regular messages. However, if you use a third-party proxy, your IP address may be visible to the proxy provider. Always use a trusted proxy source for security.
Final Thoughts
Meta’s introduction of the proxy feature in WhatsApp is a game-changer, especially for users in regions with limited or no internet connectivity. Whether you’re facing network issues or traveling in remote areas, this feature ensures you stay connected.
